Fusion 360 subscription
As long as young engineers (and hobbyists like me) are able to use it without damaging their commercial model, we can all win - and for that I am very grateful. This seems to be the way they plan to increase subscription revenues, beyond lowering the threshold. The Fusion team have started to introduce "extensions" which are paid-for features such as advanced probing (inspection) operations and fancy toolpaths. Just look back at how manufacturing technology has opened up over the last 10-20 years. The simultaneous multi-axis CAM in Fusion is a fantastic offering for students and hobby users and is helping to create a whole new generation of engineers. So if you are ever planning on doing any CNC work, Fusion is excellent and Freecad by itself is a chocolate teapot. The sale price is good until the end of October.įreecad is a CAD application, whereas Fusion (as the name suggests) brings together other elements on top of CAD. I know there are folks here that run small businesses, and if any of you are getting close to the upper income limit and think you might need to go for a commercial seat anytime soon, this special might be a good time to do it. In addition, the 310 price is locked in forever, if you keep you subscription current.
FUSION 360 SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE
They are going to ask for a separate registration, with more info from the small business users.Īnother change is that hobbyist won't have access to the software translators for working with other software tile types, I have never used that function, and don't have a clue if it's important to any Tormach users.īut, the main reason for this post is that they are offering what seems to me, a good deal if you choose to actually buy a seat, $310.00 US vs the normal price of $495.
If you haven't opened fusion lately you might not have seen that they are changing things a bit, to me it looks like the biggest change is separating the hobbyist and the small business folks. I know, a bit off topic, but there are a lot of Fusion 360 users here, especially the hobbyist type like me.
