Why I Purchased A Fusion 360 Student Licence For My Elderly Mother

A Secret Weapon For Fusion 360 Student LicenceThis includes middle schools, high schools and higher education institutions. Microsoft Outlook is a free downloadable, mobile application on all phones and tablet devices. Get more done from anywhere with a consistent. Familiar experience across all your devices. Microsoft Excel is a free downloadable, mobile application on all phones and tablet devices. Easily add formulas, reorder columns, and resize spreadsheet tables on your mobile device or tablet.

As a product manager (everyone has a day job, right?), this is the absolute most inane thing I’ve ever seen. The only rationale for cutting these edge features would be to push users into a paid subscription. But there’s not paid subscription for these users! If you want to move β€œfree” users into a paid plan, you have to give them a plan that works for them. Apparently they just want to get rid of users without a way to convert them to paid.

Easily visualize the benefits of design changes across 4 different iterations in a single, synchronized view. Things like generative design allow us to implement, execute, and manufacture in a completely different fashion than we're thinking today. Identify your design requirements, constraints, materials, and manufacturing options to generate manufacturing-ready designs.

For contrast, I pay about $50 per year for a Jetbrains IDE for professional use. Similar question for a lot of tools that create IP. Hide it behind a gate on the cloud. Fusion 360 was the Sketch/Figma answer to SolidWorks/Adobe, and I think it still can be. I’ve seen some absolutely amazing CAM work done in Fusion and I love using it.

Most users use conda to get all the dependencies going which is a horrible monstrosity. OpenSCAD itself just visualizes these. Allows you to easily set parameters via a GUI. IMO this approach does not work for more complex models, makes small iterations much much slower. The difference between F360 and OpenSCAD is huge, its like comparing Paint to Photoshop. These days there are lots of programmers. Lots of open source projects that AutoCAD should be worried. Autodesk already proved they were out of touch with users when they moved Eagle to subscription-only. They seem desperate to monetise at the cost of their user-base and preexisting goodwill. They promised to never remove features from the entry tier. They lied, and have broken trust with many thousand of people who invested their time and energy to learn this tool. SolidWorks does offer a student license. I’ve heard they have an hobbyist license. But they do want their pound of flesh, and are very proprietary, so I suggest taking a hard look at the libre stuff first. The costs to add new features and fix bugs etc should be paid for by the previous versions purchase and the profits from techsupport for the commercial clients. Which then puts the onus on the developer to make the next version full of useful features. Serious quality of life improvements so I WANT the new version enough to pay for it. You are paying over. Over for a constantly evolving product. I don’t like it either but as a software developer I do recognize that it takes time/money to add new features. FreeCAD lets you do parametric modelling. Well as seeing all of your changes while you're making them. That’s good to know I can edit stl’s right in openscad. But wow cadquery looks like quite an improvement. I’d prefer to work in python anyway. If you're looking for an intermediate thing, check out cadquery, which uses the same geometry engine as FreeCAD but has a very OpenSCAD-like feel and language to it. It only looks C-ish but it isn't actually imperative which burns some people thinking that variable assignments are sequential. It's an amazingly capable software, and you don't have to fear it will one day be bought by autodesk and ruined.
