The only thing I don’t like about Fusion360 – the mouse options are too limiting. Love the CAM simulation – much clearer and well defined than a few of the competitive products out there and what I thought was going to be a lot longer process (yes, I did check out a few of Lars’ videos for help) turned into getting stuff made within a very short time. Having a lot of experience in CAD (dating back to AutoCAD 12) but none with CAM the learning curve was not bad at all. I bought Fusion360 specifically for the CAM side. The advice here is right on for my situation. It was just recently after busting too many of those 1/8″ bits on 6061 that I decided to just run testing lines to get the right setup. Love the information about speeds and feeds near the end. Great podcast! So much of this applies to me and I’m sure many other hobbyists just starting out with CNC routing.



Fusion 360 is based off of mechanical CAD and uses HSM Works for CAM which was purchased by Autodesk.Fusion 360’s unlimited use license for hobbyists and small businesses with under $100k/year in revenue.Now and is known around the world for his Fusion 360 tutorial videos on YouTube Lars has been with Autodesk for over 5 years In this episode, Lars Christensen and myself talked aboutįusion 360 and the features and benefits that it has for CNC router users.
