Fusion 360 Vs Solidworks

Fusion 360 and Solidworks are 3D modeling software. Fusion 360 runs on both Windows and Mac while Solidworks was developed for Windows. Fusion 360 saves all data to the cloud, allowing for better collaboration, while Solidworks now offers both cloud and desktop storage. Fusion 360 has more flexible modeling tools and sculpting features, making it easier to use, while Solidworks has more advanced simulation and analysis tools. Solidworks builds parts in separate files for large assemblies, while Fusion 360 assembles all in one file, which can cause issues for large projects.

Fusion 360 vs Solidworks

Operating system

Autodesk�s Fusion 360 is available both for Mac and Windows users, and it is really
offering the same advanced features for both of these systems. For SolidWorks, it
is a little bit different as it has been specifically developed for Windows. You
can run this program on Mac but you will have to use a virtual machine on
Parallels, which is naturally a little bit less convenient.

Cloud integration

Cloud based software is perfect for collaborative projects. Fusion 360 is a cloud
based parametric modeling software, which means that all of your data is saved in
the cloud and not on your computer. This way, you and your team can access the same
project from anywhere. The Cloud is definitely allowing a better collaboration in
your team, and cloud storage is really a great advantage for data management. It is
actually one of the biggest advantages of Fusion 360.

SolidWorks users, don�t worry, this program is now also offering cloud storage
solution. You now have the choice between cloud and desktop solutions.

Modeling tools

Fusion 360 has a really complete suite of 3D modeling tools, making it quite easy
to create solid models. Moreover, this software developed by Autodesk is really
flexible and a bit easier to use, with a great push/pull tool allowing to create
great organic geometry and surfaces. Fusion 360 is also offering nice sculpt
features to start mesh modeling really easily.

SolidWorks is also offering functional tools, but no sculpt-mode and some process
are appearing to be a little time-consuming. For example: creating geometries.
Fusion 360 offers a wide range of preset construction geometry, which makes it
really simple to create all the basic shapes.

But SolidWorks also has some advantages Fusion 360 doesn�t have. If you are looking
for software with advanced simulation and analysis features, you will have to
choose SolidWorks. It will allow you to evaluate linear and non-linear responses,
composite materials, or dynamics. Fusion 360 also has simulation tools, they are
quite basic, but easy-to-use.

Part assembly

Solidworks is more an assembly-driven software, you need to reference multiple


files when building an assembly, which will allow creating large assemblies. It is
building parts individually in separate files.
With Fusion 360, different components are built and assembled in the same file. It
is a more intuitive process, but it can create some issues while working on larger
assemblies.
