I
am new to the 3D printing world! And I have been having a blast the first few
weeks of printing out anything cool I can find on thingiverse. But now… I want to try my hand at actually
making my own 3D model. And even more so
get my children to make some 3D creations (after all we do homeschool and all J )
What is fusion 360?
Fusion
360 is a piece of Software from Autodesk, the makers of autocad, that aids in the 3d design, test, and
fabrication. It is a powerful …
powerful tool that has a ton of value in the industry. That is one reason I want to use it and
teach it to my children. Not only is it
powerful but it’s the uber tool used in a lot of fabrication industry.
It’s
a very expensive product. $300/year for
Fusion 360 and $1,500/year for Fusion
360 Ultimate. But fear not there is and
educational license or a Start-up/Enthusiast license for business making under
$100,000/yr or if you are a hobbyist using it for non-commercial products.
