    In this last of our six-part series of articles on 3D printing we look at a second CAD design application: Fusion 360.

    Together with Tinker CAD (discussed last issue, No. 79), Fusion 360 by Autodesk is the most useful professional CAD design for 3D printing, and also includes features for rendering and animation. It would impossible to discuss all the features of the application here; however, it is important to discuss what we should expect from Fusion 360, how the programme can interact with the user, and where we should focus our attention to get the best results.

    As well as the commercial licence, which may be expensive for students or hobbyists, Autodesk has a free three-year student licence available. This is the licencing method that made this 3D design software so popular with the 3D-printing community.
