Autodesk Fusion 360 Is an Integrated Form, Function and Fabrication Experience
Quickly and easily explore product ideas in Fusion 360. Start by using simple free-form modeling tools to get just the right shape, or take a shortcut and seamlessly pull your existing data into your Fusion 360 project. Engineer and test it for function. Then prepare it for manufacturing by generating tool paths or using the 3D printing utility. ------------------------------------ Free for students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and startups A free 3-year license is available for students, teachers, and academic institutions. A free 1-year startup license is also available for hobbyists, enthusiasts, makers, and emerging businesses that make less than US$100,000 in revenue per year.

A friend requested that I turn a couple pieces of my line art into medallions via Shapeways. Having come from a background in two-dimensional design (primarily in Adobe Illustrator and other Creative Suite apps) I found myself utterly clueless about how to make the jump into the third dimension. Fortunately, a friend recommended Autodesk Fusion 360. With a little help from the convenient tutorials and online reference, I managed to get the task done without too many curse words, which is quite the personal feat! Having broken the 3D barrier, I found my mind racing with possibilities, and now it's hard to peel myself away from playing around with every idea that comes to mind. The clean interface keeps me from getting too overwhelmed (unlike my attempts to give Blender a go). The ability to bash together a quick sketch, model parametrically, then pop back and forth in the timeline to revise and rebuild, means I can actually improvise on designs and rapidly refine to a workable, printable design. I really wish some of these features were in Illustrator, now!
Short form: I installed for the quick intro to 3D, and I stayed for the depth of functionality. Newbies, fear not!

Good Parts
Its free for hobbyist who make less than $100k a year
Its free for students
It has most of the common AutoInventor-like features
Does basic animations as well if needed for part assemblies
Bad Parts
Has some weird file system that forces you to upload everything, very confusing at times
No fancy calculations, just modelling and meshes
if you want to do 3d printing this program gets job done
