Fusion 360

Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD/CAM/CAE platform for product development and manufacturing. It combines parametric, direct, and mesh modeling with simulation, generative design, and machining tools in a unified environment. It is ideal for engineers, product designers, and makers creating functional parts for prototyping or production. It uses a freemium model with free licenses for hobbyists and startups.

It scores well for its integrated, collaborative approach to the entire design-to-manufacture process, offering professional CAD capabilities at a relatively accessible price point.
