Fusion 360 CAD/CAM software connects your entire product design & development process in a single tool.
Autodesk
Fusion 360 is a very powerful CAD, CAM & CAE package which is free to hobbyists. It is the most comprehensive free program that I have come across and houses many environments in one slick user interface.
Pros
- Smooth transitions between design/sculpt (CAD), manufacture (CAM) and simulation (CAE) environments.
- Online based making shared projects and multi device access a breeze
- Full free licence for hobbyists and hobby businesses
Cons
- When creating an assembly, you can only insert parts from the same project. This gets pretty annoying when you are trying to reuse that part that you already designed!
- Node based connections. When connecting parts and components in assemblies, Fusion 360 uses single nodes connections. This is probability a personal preference here but I prefer to use edges and faces rather than nodes.
