Oh god, Autodesk. I tried to see if I could pay for education support because Fusion 360 account setup is unbelievably buggy, but no cigar.
They have the worst installer and registration process in all of history. I really wish we could find an alternative - even willing to pay!
- Foobar8568 2y agoMy kid wanted to learn 3d modeling, she is in middle school, and under than 12, according to their licensing, no luck as the kid needs to be over 14. Support was pointless ("education license is not for commercial use" ). Off we went on blender.
- phoronixrly 2y agoGood choice!
- anal_reactor 2y agoBack in the day I heard an argument "Photshop and 3DS MAX are so easy to pirate because the companies want the kids to learn these tools, so that later as adult professionals they'll pay license for using them", but if that's no longer true, then good riddance
- Onawa 2y agoOnShape has replaced Fusion360 for most of my needs, and it's free for personal use.
- baq 2y agoJust the other day I created a fusion 360 account which also seems free for personal use? The CAD space is quite confusing
- arcanemachiner 2y agoFree for now, under ever more restrictive conditions.
- chris_wot 2y agoYeah, but they have an education license we must use. We can’t use a personal account. Also, kids must be 13 and over. Good luck first year high schoolers!
- krelas 2y agoI’ve been going through the same thing. Take a look at Onshape, it’s also free for education. I haven’t had a chance to check it out myself yet but I hear good things.
