If you’re interested in digital animation, VFX, and game design on top of 3D printing, then Blender is one of the best modeling suites available. It has a wealth of tutorials and community support available. And although the user interface can take a bit of getting used to, it’s a very powerful program.
If you want quick and easy 3D printing, Fusion 360 is perfect. You can be up and running with your own designs in a matter of minutes. Autodesk rolls out updates often and the software is more tailored to product design.
Many 3D printing enthusiasts recommend using Blender for artistic or organic-looking prints, and Fusion 360 for functional prints. After all, they’re both free for us hobbyists, so we’d recommend trying your hand at both! |
