Overall Satisfaction with Fusion 360
In my organization, Fusion 360 is used to design our 3D prototypes to make 3D printings and test the products before the final version. I am working in the electronic development department, but we collaborate a lot with the design department because all the electronics have to fit in the prototype perfectly. We make the stuff at the same time all together.
- It's the perfect environment to create 3D models. It's very friendly with all the tools that you have to make powerful renders.
- The features to make inserts, hinges, gears, extrudes, etc., are very simple to use and have a perfect match between them.
- You have all the tools and a lot of shortcuts juts with a few touches of your mouse or keyboard.
- The transition of the different camera angles and the views of Fusion 360 are very smooth, even if your computer is not the best.
- Even the representation of complex parts is very fast, having the best machine or not having it.
- At the moment you have to import your old STL files that you have created with other CAD software. Fusion 360 imports the piece with many triangles and makes it very difficult to work on it. Sometimes, it's easier to start over with this directly in Fusion 360 and forget about the old.
- All the files that you create are saved in the Cloud, and you have to "download" them every time that you want to use them. It's a very good idea when you have an internet connection, but when you do not have it, like in a plane flight for example, you can not work on it.
- Fusion 360 has a very positive impact on the things I do. I can try very quickly (and somehow, beautiful) all the prototypes that I do, just with a few clicks.
- The ROI is very high, because you save a lot of time of design in any other Render Soft. In my case I use it for free, directly download from the Apple Store on my Mac.
Fusion 360 is the best rendering application that combines professionalism and usability, all in a user-friendly design, easy to understand and learn to use. It has powerful tools that any user with or without experience can draw on.
