Another open source alternative in the wake of the Fusion 360 debacle it seems.
I will have a look. I'm no CAD expert and I have tried FreeCAD but it seems it's almost there but not yet. My use cases are very simple and this may be enough but nevertheless I think a GUI is the way to go for these kind of applications.
- zucker42 6y agoWhat is the Fusion 360 debacle?
- dbrueck 6y agoA few days ago they announced changes to the free/hobbyist version - over the past year or so they've crippled some things and overall there's a bit of an off-putting vibe towards hobby users. I used Fusion360 a ton for 3D printing and overall it was really nice (it has its warts but it's a pretty amazing app); the past few days I've started looking into alternatives unfortunately.
- bayesian_horse 6y agoI avoided it from the start. I never checked if it was available for Linux, but in general I prefer software that is free from the start. Sort of a "Show your work" kind of attitude. Theoretically I could assemble my software stack (almost) without any external licenses or closed source code.
