Do you qualify for Free Fusion 360?Īs of October 7, 2019, Autodesk has updated the existing subscription types, while introducing two new types. Hearing how advanced Fusion 360 is may have you thinking that it’s way out of your budget. It’s built for the modern designer, maker, or engineer, and best of all it works on PC, Mac, and mobile devices. I'll maybe try the CAD functionality this weekend.Īfter seeing all the fancy features during my cursory look, the 'FREE' part sounded to good to be true so I went through the registration process, selected the free option and the '30 days evaluation' part in the title bar disappeared so apparently I'm now the proud owner of a free Fusion360 Ultimate.Fusion 360 is the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind. It's also supports something called 3+2 (5-axis positioning) for both 2.5 and 3d strategies which might be handy of you have a 4th axis on your machine.

Its got sort of a Google Sketch-up look and feel. The tutorials worked flawlessly and nothing crashed or broke and its relatively easy to get going, so I like it so far.

Definitely worth a look for 2.5 and 3D CAM as its got a lot of the high end CAM strategies like Adaptive Clearing, Pencil, Scallop, Spiral, Radial etc. Installed it and played a bit by working through some 2.5D and 3D CAM tutorials and wow, I'm quite impressed.
