Fusion360, a very powerful alternative to sketchup

It's a super powerful parametric 3d modeling program. Autodesk currently offers it for free, for makers/inventors/hobbyists.


It includes a full featured Cad system, with CAM, Simulation and more included. You can open your sketchup files from Bill right in the program, no oddness in import/export!

-AutoTuba; Tang Band 8 inch (x1)
-T39; KappliteLF, 22 wide (x2)
-More to come!

Also: It's cloud based. Any sketches you upload will be saved offsite.


Who's going to be the first to run a bunch of sims?
