There are many 3D CAD programs available, however, we picked Fusion 360 because it is powerful parametric modelling software, which students and hobbyists can get free of charge.
Over the next few issues, we are going to show you how you can easily make some of your own designs using Fusion 360. Whilst incredible things can be made with this free online tool, it’s a lot more clunky than a specially designed piece of CAD software. Soon, we quickly learn the limitations of Tinkercad. Shortly after, we learn to make small modifications to the things we find on Thingiverse and then start to make our own small designs using Tinkercad as a starting point. For the most part, we all start out just exclusively trawling Thingiverse for something cool and unique to print. It can teach you a huge amount about manufacturing processes, CNC robotics, material sciences, and general engineering.
We show you how to get started with Fusion 360 instead, and it’s also free to use!ģD printing can be an extremely fun and rewarding hobby. Tinkercad is great when you first start out in 3D printing but is limited in what it can do.
