Important: use your student email address when you register! When you have registered as a student/educator, you will be able to download Fusion 360. CAD Envy has a course for Inventor as if you are interested (but I suggest you start with Fusion 360). Inventor is more powerful than Fusion 360, but harder to learn. With a student/educator user account on, you will have access to a whole suite of state-of-the-art software, such as the CAD package Inventor. Click “CREATE ACCOUNT”įollow the instructions and fill out all the details. If you chose “Educational Use”, you will be forwarded to this page. If you are a hobbyist and not a student, you should choose Personal Use (instructions further down). If you choose the latter, make sure to use your student email address when you sign up in the next step. If you are a student, I recommend that you select Educational Use. Select either “PERSONAL USE” or “EDUCATIONAL USE”. Ĭlick on either “FREE TRIAL” or “DOWNLOAD FREE TRIAL” (both buttons will take you to the same page). Because all files are saved in the cloud, you can work on any computer where Fusion 360 is installed, which is really convenient if you want to work on your design both at school and at home, for example.Īutodesk Fusion 360 is free for students and for personal use.


While Fusion 360 is cloud-based, you still need to install some software on your computer. This lesson will guide you through the process. Before you can start designing cool things, you need to download and install Autodesk Fusion 360 on your computer.
