I was able to teach myself 3D CAD, and solve all my basic needs around 3D printing projects, like little accessories, cases or replacement parts for any broken item around the house. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Fusion 360 is an excellent piece of software for hobbyists and makers, especially considering that it's completely free, even for small businesses. The learning curve is very steep and if you are willing you can create complex designs all by yourself in very short time. #### Cons You need a basic understanding of the working principles of a 3D CAD software and you must be willing to try and learn. It's not as easy as working with primitives like in Tinkercad, but it's of course aimed at another group of people. What should also be noted, is that Fusion 360 is cloud based, so all your designs are stored there, which is convenient, when you access them from different locations but can also be a disadvantage if Autodesk will one day decide to pull the plug on the servers. If you are using an older Mac, be aware that they will soon drop support for macOS below version 10.13. --- ### Number one of 3D modeling and simulation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alaa A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Besides the software itself, a big plus is the vast amount of tutorials, short videos and help information in the various forums, especially Fuison's own forum.Workin with Fusion as a hobyist is great fun, and let's all hope that the free license for non-commercial use will remain! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Once I have internalized the principles of Fusion and 3D design in general, I could reach my goals relatively fast. I am no professional mechanical engineer, but I could orient myself towards everyday objects and leverage my creativity. Fusion is targeted at professional designers, but the well thought out user interface makes it easies for makers to use it for their DIY projects. #### Cons Using the mouse for rotation of the model is sometimes cumbersome, sometimes it's even hard to find the model in the 3D space. Of course, Fusion requires a fair amount of processing power and a good graphics card, although mine only cost around 100$.Finding the source and correcting errors is sometimes hard. Errors can lead to a situation where you can't modify parts of your model anymore. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/fusion-360-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Autodesk Fusion Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
