We've been running a Tree Ornament Challenge with a chance to win an UltiMaker S3 or colorFabb filament.ĭesign a 3D printable tree ornament and join our festive challenge on Thingiverse. Also I have no idea what the difference is between 123D Design and Fusion 360.It may be that in pure design not much and that Fusion 360 has additional professional functionality such as documentation, file management and collaboration - but I am guessing now. Quite what happens at the end of that first year I know not!Ĭaveat: I have not tried to use Sketchup or Autodesk 123D Design since that episode 18 months ago and yes things move on, or not as it seems to be in the Sketchup world. Go to the Autodesk website and get Autodesk Fusion 360 - now whilst there is a 30 day trial and it is then chargeable you can get a special licence which is free for a year - if you are either a hobbyist or a non commercial personal user, or a startup business with annual income < 100K USD. Get Autodesk 123D Design - this is designated freeware these days, easily found on the Net ![]() I have no affiliation to Autodesk,indeed my company uses their arch rival Solidworks design software over Autodesk Inventor, which after trials we felt was better. I am not saying that it is easier to use than Sketchup or has more functionality than Sketchup, BUT these guys know how to create fault free meshes and it is free - so IMHO it is worth you trying. They also have the size and discipline to ensure that what they release works.Ībout 18 months back I tried Sketchup and suffered the same problems being reported here and so gave up and tried the Autodesk software. The point is that these people have large software development groups focussed on CAD, are professional and know what they are doing. A couple of years back Autodesk broke into our 3D world releasing a variety of free software packages, including design software 123D Design and buying up products such as Meshmixer. ![]() they tend to use Autodesk or Solidworks products and Catia also, not as big I think but it has a presence in the aerospace industry. In the professional world, where people design jumbo jets, nuclear power stations, complex bridges, automotive engines etc. I would recommend that you try something else, such as Autodesk's 123D Design or Fusion 360, and dump Sketchup (which is not to say there are not people on this forum successfully using Sketchup)(and yes there other products out there apart from Autodesk). Interesting that in the last week or so we have had several posts by new people, using Sketchup, who have all had problems with their models from Sketchup when transferred to Cura. ![]()
