I am after some advice on what CAD software to use next.
I am pretty adapt with Tinkercad and find it very easy to get on with. I also used Fusion 360 for things like fillets as Tinkercad can not do this.
My free subscription has run out on Fusion 360, it is not worth the $150 per year for me as I rarely use it.
What is there that can do fillets like Fusion 360 but is free? Any ideas??
Thanks

Re: CAD Software
Fusion 360 is free for personal or hobby use. It has some restrictions, like you can only have 10 open documents at a time, but if you do an entire model in one document that's not an issue. The FAQ says "A hobbyist user must generate less than $1,000 USD in annual revenue, using Fusion 360 for home-based, non-commercial design, manufacturing, and fabrication projects," so I think you might even be OK under the free license if you sell a few models to friends.

Re: CAD Software
I think they have changed the hobbyist one to one year only? Unless it's renewable?metalmuncher wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 5:10 pm Fusion 360 is free for personal or hobby use.

Re: CAD Software
OK, after some research, I found the answer, you have to renew it for free every year, point?metalmuncher wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 5:10 pm Fusion 360 is free for personal or hobby use.
