The user interface is simple and intuitive. It strikes a good balance between having what you really need easily available with minimal hunting as opposed to having a congested user interface with thousands of options that are all one click away if you can manage to find the right "button". > > **Cons**: One previous con with Fusion 360 was not directly related with the software but rather with the updating experience. During the first update, my IT team struggled to the point I almost decided to cancel the subscription and switch to OnShape which is cloud based and doesn't require my IT team to do anything. To be fair to AutoDesk, I have never had problems updating the hobbyist version of 360 on my personal laptop. The last couple of updates were more easily managed by my IT team, so there might have been a learning curve for them. So this doesn't seem to be an issue anymore thankfully.Another previous con was related to software capabilities. At first, I really despised the lack of ability to incorporate weld symbols into the drawings. However, Fusion 360 added that capability and now I can provide detailed drawings with weld symbols without having to copy-paste pictures of weld symbols into the drawing. This too has been resolved and so it is no longer an issue either.The only remaining con I have with Fusion 360 is the simulation capabilities. I had moderate hopes that the FEA tool would be useful, but it seems to be linked to a limited amount of credits and limited types of simulation such as liner-FEA. It really seems like AutoDesk is just trying to "check the box" to say that Fusion 360 can perform FEA. Don't waste your time with the Simulation tools in Fusion 360. Find another tool for that such as SimScale, Abaqus, Ansys, etc. > > Fusion is an entry level product from Autodesk. It is not as "fancy" as Autodesk inventor or SolidWorks, but I promise you that it can do 95% of the most common modeling tasks that most people will need. The price point is perfect for company users so that nobody will complain about expensive software. The software lacks good simulation capabilities, but that is to be expected for the price point.I have convinced management at my company to cancel 3 license keys for a more expensive modeling tool and simultaneously get 5 other user licenses for Fusion 360 at a fraction of the cost. We haven't missed a beat, and now I have more people available to create the needed drawings for execution tasks and 3D models for FEA and CFD. ----- ### "Simple yet effective CAD software." — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *15 October 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is a handy timeline feature which allows you to go back and edit dimensions without having to redo the whole CAD. > > **Cons**: Requires a high performance PC, and a good amount of storage. > > Overall great software for designing CAD. ----- ### "Horrible program" — 1.0/5 > **Jan Houtenbos** | *23 November 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing, its expensive, unclear and annoying > > **Cons**: Everything is wierd, nothing is clear, you have to look everything up, even how to move the camera. Other programs are so much more logic, you can just use them without training, but Fusion 360 is super frustating. > > Horrible, its expensive, unclear and annoying ----- ### "Easy to learn with everything you need" — 5.0/5 > **Steffen** | *25 September 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to handle, fast Progress. For non professionell user (Hobby) free to use. > > **Cons**: Some functions are dissabled for free user. > > It‘s a nice and handy cad Programm with a lot of cool functions. Easy to learn and fast progress while using. ----- ### "JNM Rise Inc - Fusion360 Review" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *17 December 2019* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has been an incredible tool for my business. Being that our principle service is Design and Engineering, Fusion 360 has offered all my team and I could ask for in a software. It has been very intuitive, and regular updates or feedback from the customer service team. In addition, there is a massive online community with video tutorials or guides both created by, or individual users of the Fusion360 software. > > **Cons**: I can honestly say that there has not been an issue since day one of using the software. If I have a need to address, the online community are quick to provide thoughtful responses and guidance allowing me to solve any issues my team and I may have. > > This software has been so easy to use from day one\! I couldn't be more thrilled with it. Being an SME, it is offered on an annual basis free of charge. My network of engineers are amazed I am able to accomplish what I have using this software when the companies they come from are paying thousands for licensing. I also would like to note that Autodesk offer an incredible specialization to really round out your skills via Coursera. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/9530/fusion-360?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/9530/fusion-360) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
