Autodesk Fusion (formerly "Autodesk Fusion 360") is a cloud-based commercial software package for doing parametric CAD, electrical drawings, simulation, rendering and CAM.
The software is free for hobbyists, non-commercial use, and for qualifying startups.
At Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) members use Fusion to create output suitable for our 3D printers and CNC machines.
Contact Us if you cannot find your answer here on our Wiki or if you notice any information that is outdated.
