Fusion 360<\/span><\/h1>\n

Fusion 360 – mechanical drawing software designed to replace Solidworks for the DIY crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solidworks is an old software that is indeed taught in most academies, but the main problem is that a license costs thousands of dollars and it is less suitable for the home audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sketching is indeed important in the 3D world, but it is important to understand that 3D printing requires an understanding of Slicer.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the drawing, the file is named and exported to an STL file, the machine does not know how to read the drawing file.<\/span><\/p>\n

The STL drawing file is put into the slicer, which converts it into a Gcode machine command file.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the machine needs to know at what temperature to print, speed, where supports are, what percentage of filling (hollow, grid or full) etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

All these data are determined in the Gcode file by the slicer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another advantage of the Fusion360 software is that you can convert to CNC and not just 3D printing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The software is suitable for the more advanced, if it is children we recommend learning the Tinkercad<\/a> software because it is simpler.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tinkercad is less about creating engines or mechanical parts, but using the block method of adding and subtracting shapes, writing in Hebrew, editing a ready file and a wide variety of other things.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many cases where they are in doubt, you can start both and see which is more convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n

The free software:<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Fusion360 only for personal and non-commercial use, you can check on their website what the definition is<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. TinkerCad – completely free with no usage restrictions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For the sake of differentiation between the degrees of difficulty of the study:<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Solidworks requires several semesters in mechanical engineering or industrial design<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Fusion360 – about 30 consecutive days (each lesson at least an hour)<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. TikerCad<\/a><\/span> in just 2 hours (the simplest).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For those who are ready for the challenge, we recommend Kivan Kandy learning Fusion360 in 30 days,<\/a> an excellent guide that does give most of the information to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sketching is indeed important in the 3D world, but it is important to understand that 3D printing also requires an understanding of Slicer.
      A very high percentage of the 3D printers use the software, if the need is not a mechanic but the figures, the Blender software (also free) will be more suitable, but this software also requires a long learning time.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The best software for figures is Z-Brush but it is paid unlike Blender.
