It has come to our attention that Fusion 360 is available for free as well, although with some restrictions to whom is eligible for the free version. Therefore, we feel that itвЂ™s time for a conclusion. We couldвЂ™ve gone on and on about all the features missing in 123D Design compared to Fusion, but that would get tedious after a while (you probably get the idea by now). FusionвЂ™s snap tool is SO MUCH more flexible and 123D Design also lacks a few inspect tools. Every sketch-related tool is also so much more robust in Fusion. All of the movement, joint and animation-related features are left out of 123D Design as well.ДЄ render done in Fusion 360 (from an earlier post)ДЇusion 360 has this construct feature which lets you create planes, axes and points in a wide array of ways to make your life easier. You also donвЂ™t have anything close to the вЂњcapture historyвЂќ/parametric modelling feature in 123D Design which you have in Fusion. This is essential to have if your assembly consists of several components and extremely convenient to have regardless of the assembly size. The browser is not present in 123D Design where you in Fusion have a good overview and management over each instance (components, bodies, sketches and so on). In 123D Design you donвЂ™t have the render, sculpt or CAM modules (among several others), which you all find in Fusion. LetвЂ™s talk about the major differences first. In Tinkercad youвЂ™re so blatantly aware of your major limitations that every feature is a godsend, but in 123D Design there are all these smaller and more subtle limitations which you discover after a while which can almost give you a bit of a headache. vs Fusion 360Д«eing more of a simplified Fusion 360 than an improved Tinkercad software, 123D Design can almost get a bit annoying to work with if youвЂ™re used to Fusion (or other larger CAD programs, we have to assume). There are expanded features here compared to Tinkercad with export and import of STEP and SAT-files, which is convenient. We have to mention the import/export options as well. How вЂ™bout some love for the good olвЂ™ Comic Sans? The measure tool shows the shortest length between the two selected edges, the anlge between them and the lengths of the edges themselves. I can speak for everyone when I say that we are looking forward to using Tinkercad for a long time to come.The text and measure tools in action. But most of all we are very excited about the roadmap Autodesk has drafted for Tinkercad.ДЄs our team continues working on Airstone IвЂ™m pleased to see Tinkercad find a safe and welcoming home. There is also a strong alignment on topics like furthering education and the vision of making design more accessible. We were impressed by the deep insight the Autodesk team had into the Tinkercad interface and the underlying technology. This account will be offered for a limited time only so make sure you sign up as soon as possible.Д«efore signing the deal the we spent a lot of time talking to Autodesk engineers and product people about their vision for Tinkercad.

We have automatically upgraded all existing free accounts to this new powerful plan. You can now create unlimited designs, all import and export functionality is enabled and ShapeScripts are turned on for free accounts. Even better, at the request of Autodesk, we have supercharged the free plan. The shutdown plan has been rolled back and effective immediately new users are again able to sign up for the site. There are two main impacts of this deal: the site is fully operational and Autodesk has some very exciting plans for Tinkercad. This is a great day for all Tinkercad users, Autodesk is a very enthusiastic and capable steward. вЂњI am happy to announce that we have just signed a deal where Autodesk will purchase the Tinkercad site and core technologies. Tinkercad as a large following and itвЂ™s nice to know that that those users will be supported. On the whole, this is a good development.

Many in the personal 3D printer market have used Tinkercad to create their designs, as this program, while not as complete as many of the professional CAD programs, still manages to offer a lot of features and capabilities, especially for those new to CAD. You may have heard that, briefly, Tinkercad was going to be discontinued as a CAD tool. HereвЂ™s a recent note from Kai Backman, Founder & CEO of Tinkercad.
