Revision as of 20:17, 16 December 2023

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.

Autodesk Fusion 360 ("Fusion") is a cloud-based commercial software package for doing parametric CAD, electrical drawings, simulation, rendering and CAM.

At Pikes Peak Makerspace members use Fusion to create output suitable for our 3D printers and CNC machines.

The software is free for hobbyists, non-commercial use, and for qualifying startups.



Tips

  • Use post processor "Mach4Mill" (not Avid CNC).
