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.
Tips
- Use post processor "Mach4Mill" (not Avid CNC).
