I haven’t really used blender, but I doubt it would be a great replacement for most use cases. Fusion360 on the other hand is free and a great replacement!

- aynyc 4y agoFusion360 has a big learning curve for me. As a once a year hobbyist, not sure if it's worth the investment to learn. I think you are right that blender is probably worse than Fusion for basic carpentry planning, etc..
- longtimelistnr 4y agoBlender imo is a much larger learning curve than fusion. In my experience Fusion or solidworks are about fundamentally how to construct a model. Whereas blender is much more oriented towards someone who may be more technically minded. As well as being just for surface models not real world objects.
- aynyc 4y agoI suspect that too. If I learn Blender to replace Fusion/SketchUp, I can do other stuff with Blender. But I'm sticking to basic home DIY. I might just spend some time on Fusion.
- somat 4y agoBlender is an artsy program and development tends to focus on the artsy side. fusion360 is an engineering program and development tends to focus on that use case. Not to say you cant use it for ether purpose. but loosely, blender is better when you only really care about what it looks like and fusion360 is better when you care not how it looks but about the details of the dimensions of your thing. personally I enjoy modeling in a parametric program like fusion360 more, I guess it appeals to my inner programmer, but nothing I make could reasonably be called "art".
