Autodesk Fusion 360 - 2018 Roadmap Update

The green tiles represent features that are ready to go, the yellow tiles are features in progress, and the few blue tiles are updates that are planned for development later this ye…

Did Fusion 360 Behave? Take a Look at 2017

Have you ever purchased an app, a game, or professional software and found it to be seriously lacking? You know, those feelings of frustration and the endless stream of “Who wanted this…” and “Why didn’t they just…” The worst part is that there is usually no hope that the software get better (many “fixes” are worse than the problem they solve). Like any software, Fusion 360 has flaws, but are those flaws just part of the scenery or can we expect change? Let’s take a look at the last year of updates and see what kind of pattern emerges. Bugs and gl…

Fusion EXPLORE: Drone Chassis - Part 1

Hey everybody! Let’s EXPLORE Autodesk Fusion 360! If you’re anything like me, then you always have to try out gadgets. Especially gadgets that fly. As I work my way towards a higher level of quadcopter piloting, I leave a trail of crashed and burnt-out drones (hey, they are called “hobby grade” drones for a reason). Since I have an abundance of damaged drones, I decided to use one for this week’s Fusion Explore blog. My goal was to design and print a replacement chassis, making it small and light enough for the tired motors to handle. Seemed easy and s…
