What problems is Autodesk Fusion solving and how is that benefiting you?
The design workflow for preparing objects for 3D printing in Fusion 360 offers numerous benefits. The ability to directly export models to 3D printing software like Ultimaker Cura or Formlabs reduces the need for multiple tools, creating a seamless workflow. The mesh editing and repair tools for STL and OBJ files are especially useful when working with scanned objects or imported medical image files, as they help identify and fix common issues like holes, non-manifold edges, and intersecting faces.
As a cloud-based software, Fusion 360 allows me to access CAD files from anywhere and on any device, improving collaboration with clients and stakeholders who might not have the software installed on their devices.
The cloud-based computation for simulation tools, such as finite element analysis and static or thermal stress tests, frees up my local computing resources. As an individual designer, it gives me access to advanced analyses that would otherwise require significant computational power.
Finally, in Mechanical Computer-Aided Design, the ability to use both parametric and direct modeling is a great feature. It allows me to easily make changes and adapt designs before fully constraining a mechanical model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
