Autodesk Fusion 360
Submitted by: Allison Fonder
Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD software that comes in handy for visualizing complicated mechanical designs due to its ability to host an object's assembly pieces together within one file. It's a more intuitive software than other CAD programs, which makes it a favorite among many industrial designers and hobbyists. Another unique feature of Fusion 360 is its incorporation of Autodesk's generative design technology, an AI-powered function that allows designers to generate CAD-ready solutions based on manufacturing constraints.
