Testing Fusion 360 - A Wine Rack

     At the moment I'm moving to switzerland and It's been a long time (3 months) without my desktop computer. The laptop computer I'm using runs windows, so, as always, I'm trying design softwares that fit the operational system and my tastes.
     This time I did some testing in autodesk fusion 360. I found it to be friendly, from the interface, to being free for low budget engineers. I like the team project features and the work versioning. The drawbacks is that I found it to be slow. At least in my computer the screen is always freezing for some time, which is annoying. 
     Veridict: It's cool, mainly if you're going to do some teamwork.


The simple project I did to test the software: A wood wine rack.


Of course I needed to bring this to real life. Not that hard, but not that easy with just a $10 saw, and a rock as a hammer. 

     Final word: I still prefer some opensource CAD programs out there. 
     I still need to test drive Onshape, though. I really think this cloud plataform is promissing, because we can use it in windows or linux both, and besides, it has teamwork features as well.
