Re: David Best in depth hands-on Fusion 360

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the info. I see it is now $48/yr for non-business use. I wish that they increase the income for personal use to something above $2000 annually.

Imran,

I agree with Stan. Solidworks is far more user friendly than Fusion 360 (and Inventor) and more powerful in my opinion. I’ve never used either for cabinet or furniture modeling, but have for other things and vastly prefer Solidworks in general.?

My wife is a design engineer and she’s used a number of “big boy” packages over the years (Creo, NX, etc.) and has no issues working Solidworks. She tried Fusion for a home project since we don’t have personal licenses of any packages and went out and bought the SW Maker package shortly thereafter. For $100 it’s a steal.?

Hi Stan,

I have started learning Fusion 360 and have decent knowledge of free sketchup. Is solidworks similar?

IIRC, I could not find a class at the local Ivy Tech for fusion but they are offered for solidworks. So that would be a plus. I learn better with a fixed schedule.?

For what it’s worth, Solidworks also has a Maker version for $10/mo. Being an engineer I have used a majority of the platforms out there and find it to be the most user friendly and in general most intuitive (I learned on autocad and inventor). While I do have access to cad at work I prefer to use solidworks. Just wanted to put that out there as an option for folks.?

cheers.?
