They offer a discount $150 for 3 years the $680 full price. 😞 it was bound to happen.
And that probably won’t be the end.
Very happy (and after 2 years usage still extremely unskilled) with FreeCad.
FreeCAD is pretty much useless, it still doesn’t have basic modelling features like fillets, chamfers, etc.
This isn’t true? Fillets and chamfers are available in the PartDesign workbench.
That’s not true. FreeCAD can do those things just fine. In fact, I have been able to do every single thing in FreeCAD that I used to do in Fusion360. There is a learning curve, but FreeCAD is extremely capable.
Is free as a good enough replacement? I like fusion for the sculpting mode as well. I would rather go to an open source replacement though
Freecad sucks. I use it exclusively and it sucks.
But it’s the only foss option and the only Linux option.
I’ve noticed that as well. Closest would be blender, but that doesn’t even work on my Linux computer. Because the graphics card or possibly a different card doesn’t support it
It’s the reason I jumped on a cheap solidworks license, was fully intending to use it as my primary cad package but I just found it kinda clunky. To be super fair, I recall using it years ago and it’s come a long way and I run it on my lab machine because Linux, but even not touching cad programs for almost a decade solidworks was just way easier to come back to.
Not sure about sculpting, but in terms of sketching I find it good but flawed.
Getting to grips with sketching and how you need to complete shapes, and using support lines is a learning curve.
However I find it quite rewarding and worth the time to learn.
I’m going to check it out again. It sounds more than decent for most things. Do you have any tutorials you learned from. The “learn fusion 360 in 30 days” is what I used to learn fusion
