these and sure that there are no sharp edges and the overall object has more complex curves and a smooth surface which are possible but will be extremely time consuming in the standard surface modelling approach in SOLIDWORKS. this is a completely different type of Modelling and can help in certain types of subdivision surface modelling workflows. Fusion has Sculpting Modeįusion 360 also has the capability of sculpting tools, these help the user work with a clay a like object interface and is much different compared with the traditional extrude boss and extrude cut approach. Not only this but in SOLIDWORKS you can also automatically create cut lists for your entire design which can speed up the entire design to quote process. One of the areas Fusion 360 is definitely lacking is weldments, these allow the user to easily create steel and wooden designs that have members of standard sizes that can be purchased at the local Hardware Store. SOLIDWORKS on the other hand is is unable to perform such Complex computation and thus can only use the imported STL property as reference geometry. Working with meshes in FusionĪreas where fusion 360 takes the lead is working with best piles especially STL and OBJ files, it can not only convert mesh files into solid geometry but can also allow for mesh manipulation tools.
fusion 360 on the other hand can work with about 80% of all heavy computation including simulations and rendering on the cloud, these are not only mean that you can run multiple simulation and rendering jobs simultaneously but can also achieve the same results as a higher and desktop computer without any additional cost in hardware. due to the heavy requirements buy SOLIDWORKS it does tend to lag on underperforming personal desktops especially laptops. In today's day and age, it is not possible for everyone to have a higher end computer, these typically include Extensive amounts of Ram and capable GPU. SOLIDWORKS is trying to actively make progress on this front by introducing its new platform 3DExperience. apart from this fusion 360 can also provide the capability for reviews and annotations by members over the internet. fusion 360 changes this by allowing users to do not only share CAD files but also work on them simultaneously.
#FUSION 360 VS SOLIDWORKS OFFLINE#
CollaborationĪs mentioned previously SOLIDWORKS works completely offline and as a result lacks real time communication and collaboration with members around the globe. this allows SOLIDWORKS to work on the go and in times of need their and active internet connection may not always be available. fusion 360 is a hybrid but is dependent on an active internet connection to access files from online service and for or off-loading computations on to cloud server. SOLIDWORKS is designed to operate completely off the internet grid, it requires no communication with online service and performs all of the solutions to the inputs provided by the user using the computational power available on the system it is installed.
#FUSION 360 VS SOLIDWORKS MAC#
fusion 360 on the other hand is just as robust on a windows and Mac Operating System. Therefore, installing SOLIDWORKS on a Mac operating system is Not advisable. fusion 360 is compatible with both windows and Mac operating systems while solid works on the other hand is mainly optimized for Windows operating systems, with a couple of work arounds it is possible to get SOLIDWORKS to run on a Mac hardware but it does come with a cost of a more Complex setup including virtual machine or dual boot options. When it comes to Operating systems both SOLIDWORKS and fusion 360 Share measure differences.
SOLIDWORKS and Fusion 360 are both excellent CAD packages, let us dive deeper into some of the key feature differences between these softwares.
