This video is so lacking in detail, it never drills down to any of the actual differences. It also waffles all over the place, with statements like "If you're looking for a job you're better investing time with Inventor in addition to using Fusion 360". Gee, that's helpful (not).
Pretty sure inventor would be Fusion 360 was a part of inventor until they realized they could squeeze a little more money but then they got less greedy and made Fusion 360 free then they got more greedy and started charging for it basically the constant fight between shareholders and innovation
Fusion is best suited for the concept phase, while Inventor is better suited to finish a design and see it through production. As to the learning curve: I came out of AutoCad and had to completely rethink how I approached my drawings in Inventor. Once I figured it out it is not at all uncommon for my to have Inventor and AutoCad open at the same time, switching between the two formats without really thinking about it. While I can get around in Fusion I find the interface inefficient compared to Inventor but I need to have some knowledge of the program so I can better work with concepts produced by members of my team that are on Fusion.
I'd say tinkercad is for mapping out your design, fusion is for making it, and Inventor is for polishing. That's usually how my workflow goes. Good thing I'm a student and they offer free versions of all the software
Why would you use anything else than Inventor if you have it? You dont make drawings in Inventor like in Autocad.... In inventor the drawings are made from the 3D model... Partly automatically.
@@martinsvensson6884 Maybe not for you but some of us have a much wider scope to our work. While I currently do most of my work in Inventor, I still need AutoCad, Revit, 3dsMax, Sketchup, Illustrator and several others to efficiently deal with the numerous files that are provided to me by my clients. And sometimes, despite Inventor being able to import numerous formats, you just can't beat working in the native formats to get the most accurate information.
While using f360, inventor is better. Mainly in handling large assemblies, sheet metal, and documentation. I do find HSM better in f360, and it's ability to incorporate circuit design, and 3d printing.
I’m a welder by trade and only designing Ute tray’s and other bar work and I tried to get the hang of fusion 360 but I just couldn’t wrap my head around it, we use inventor at work so im more familiar with that but I don’t think I want to pay that hefty price tag for just work that I do on the side as a hobby, wish I knew more about fusion as much as I did with inventor
i used inventor as a student but now i am done and now it wouldnt be free anymore. So i switched to f360 and its good for single parts, but inventor had an menu for every hole and radius and stuff which fusion has not. so you model in fusion and cant click on the radius or hole and change it easyly. this makes it a pain to use for me. and multiple parts built together is horrible in comparison to inventor, you cant easily position parts and bind them to others as good as inventor could. for example you got to shafts and want them to be parallel and in a distance of 50 mm to each other so gears would fit. inventor easy and fusion a pain in the butt or i am just to stupid to find how to do it. but i learned inventor on myself to and would say, its way more intuitively desinged. Sorry for my bad english i am from germany and desinge small gas engines as a hobby to build them
Hi,as a mechanical engineering student, I am an Inventor user. but, actually I want to move to fusion just because it's flexibility would you like to share your knowledge so I didn't go to wrong way, I am new in that two software. thanks
@@Indonesia01ian what do you want to know? i failed in f360 in the assembly of my engine. but the cam is way easyer to access in f360 then the complex add on in inventor
Hi INVENTOR scheint weniger selbsterklärend und umständlich als SolidWorks? Was ähnelt sich mehr Fusion 360 zu INVENTOR oder Fusion zu SolidWorks? Für welches CAD-Programm würdest Du Dich entscheiden, wenn Du eine Komplettlösung mit CAM für CNC-Bearbeitung anstrebst? Besten Dank!
fusion es ligero rapido, practico, un solo archivo, todo el procesamiendo se hace en la nube, controlas versiones, compartes facil y rapido, manejas 1 solo archivo, pero no puede alcanzar la compledijad de inventor, inventor permite programacion, parametrizar funciones, guardar piezas y diseñar estructuras y centro de contenido y tuberias, agregas componentes a dischos entornos, tiene simulacion dinamica, pero es pesado, dificil en ensambles grandes (ej 10milpiezas), necesitas mucha tarjeta grafica y procesamiendo, pero realizas diseños muy complejos
Two things: 1. Why most mechanism designers and animated mechanism use inventor? Whats its advantage over the soildworks? 2. Please compare these to solidworks
@@chantallehartlova7129 what do you mean by “its more focused on people learning of cads” please explain more and say in more details that how its more limited…
I am coming from Autocad 2020 to inventor. However people have suggested Fusion as an alternative. I design Cabinetry and casino gaming tables, usually with multiple layers and components/ hardware. Which do you think will be the best option. Not interested in Rendering or CAM options. Thanks
@@hillfortherstudios2757 This may be true. I've tried to use inventor and the biggest fall back is the 2d to 3d process. Sometimes i need to sketch in 2d fast and then modify the 3d extrusion. Inventor makes this difficult by enforcing constraints and extending the parts/ assembly process. Will give fusion a try now.
@@sombradesigns1734 I have had a similar experience. 3d workflow seems easier with fusion. Also, to be blunt, its much easier to make a profit with Fusion
@@hillfortherstudios2757 Thanks for your input man. My company has no problem switching software IF. it saves them time and money. I'm not seeing this with Inventor.
Does not matter. It takes years of working full time to get efficient at any of these, no employer would put much weight on these meager credits in your study time. Just work with the one you like. Inventor is good choice.
I'm learning Fusion now. Learned Inventor 3 years ago at my previous work. It's obvious Fusion is much more user friendly, modern, after using it some few weeks. What I note the most is big difference in error messages) In Inventor one, or I, get bombarded with error messages, and sometime the software just shut down. In fusion I hardly see any error messages) It's clear that Inventor is the way to go if one work with complex models above a certain size, number of components, and/or doing some special advaced operations. Luckily it seams Fusion 360 is more than fine for my use so far.
@@Rimrock300 I don’t know, I really liked inventor.. was to used to it and it’s layout and at least for me or whatever version software of fusion I have, pretty sure the latest, it just looks really bad.. I don’t know how to explain it
I am always a big fan of your videos and content about Fusion 360, and it has inspired me to start the Fusion 360 tutorials series on my RUclips Channel "3Diest".
The old solar Works file structure of parts assemblies being separate needs to go die in a corner. Nobody has ever enjoyed it. fusion gets some things right but at the end of the day fusion is a children’s software that will leave you frustrated that it is intentionally handicapped to make professionals want to buy more expensive outdated software. If they mix these two programs together and made an off-line version, they would have an amazing software.
I am looking for a software where I can design everything in one window without saving any parts independently or bringing them in and stuff , that is just a waste of time, I think fusion, you just move the mouse create a profile, mated to the other part and done deal. I want to be able to manipulate parts quickly and no software does that, except autocad or fusion, not even inventor, solidworks , I don't know about catia , I'm tired of bring in it components and adjusting them to my proportions when all I can do is work out my proportions on the spot and 3dmodel in the instant fixing perfectly, do you get me!!? do you get me!!? is ther anyone outhere that gets me!!? is there anyone alive out there!
Dude the concept of designing all the components in one window is actually messy. This means every component will be dependent on each other rather than being independent. You can't make changes for specific part because every other part is going to be dependent on the geometry of that part.
if you are trying to make a robot and you have to choose between Solidworks and Autocad, i would say that Solidworks is more suited for this type of work.

Solidworks is more limited because it is more focused on people learning of CAD. So for advanced CAD the options are Catia or Inventor
@@chantallehartlova7129 what do you mean by “its more focused on people learning of cads” please explain more and say in more details that how its more limited…
For sheet metal is better to choose inventor.
