It also has enough simulation and CAD/CAM tools to make it a viable platform for manufacturers. The modeling tools are more straightforward than Solidworks, albeit less versatile, but it still has enough capability to model anything. What people seem to like about Fusion 360 these days is that it is a cool middle-ground between Sketchup and Solidworks. We will go over that in more detail later in the article. Although, there’s another aspect of Fusion 360 that heavily relies on the cloud. So maybe between 20, the “cloud-ness” of Fusion 360 became less critical. I read a few articles on how Fusion 360 was released as Autodesk’s answer to the demand for “ CAD in the cloud.” As I looked more into this claim, it seems that while it was an exciting thing back in 2012, Autodesk’s product pages don’t make much mention of how Fusion 360 is “a cloud-based solution.”Īs I’ve researched Solidworks and Inventor ( Our Review on these two), they both seem to have collaboration tools. It dominates the market, but not everyone needs all that power. In contrast, Solidworks is more powerful, more feature-rich, more customizable, and more complex. The people in this niche market can “get by” with Fusion 360, and they are much happier with the price. There is a niche market for those who need some kind of basic CAD/CAM modeling program, but don’t need all the bells and whistles.


Still, Fusion 360 is entirely outshined by Solidworks when scrutinized one category at a time. It is a legitimate CAD/CAM 3D modeling application that can “hang in there” with Solidworks (or Inventor). Suddenly it all made sense! Fusion 360 is like “Diet Solidworks” (or Diet Inventor). I tillegg gjør disse programmene det enkelt å oppdage potensielle problemer og rette dem før byggingen i det hele tatt begynner. Dette gjør at casinodesignere kan få en god følelse av hvordan det ferdige produktet vil se ut og føles. Noen av de viktigste fordelene med å bruke SolidWorks og Fusion 360 inkluderer muligheten til å lage fotorealistiske bilder, generere realistiske simuleringer og lage animasjoner. Det er fordi disse programmene tilbyr et bredt spekter av funksjoner og muligheter som gjør dem ideelle for å lage alt fra det første oppsettet til de detaljerte tegningene. Når det kommer til design og konstruksjon av kasino, er SolidWorks og Fusion 360 programvare blant de mest populære valgene.
