Fusion 360 is a powerful and intuitive 3d modeling program from Autodesk. It allows for quick modeling for production whether that is 3d printing, milling, or plasma cutting. It is more beginner friendly than other programs like Solidworks.

When you open Fusion 360 you will be asked to log in with an Autodesk account. If you don’t have one, click the "Create Account" link under the "Next" button on the sign-in page (left). You should be redirected to a new form to create your account (right). Your UTC email is preferable to use as Autodesk has an option to submit information and obtain an educational license for your account. Once you have an account you are ready to get started.
