Browser based CAD/CAM

[Anonymous]

I know Autodesk has expressed and aggresively repugnant view of Linux. Similarly, at our makerspace we have a similar view towards the DRM embedded systems produced by Microsoft and Apple. If Fusion 360 was converted to a browser based system instead of a tethered one both issues would be solved. Going forward it would be far easier to maintain code that works in an OS agnostic browser than separate repos for the same program.

Don't kill me just trying to understand your view here:

How would you see this?

I mean if it would be OS agnostic, should it run in all browsers?

If so how would you see that in being easier to maintain than 2 OS's?

Have you seen Project Ieopard, don't know if it will get CAM as well though.

As @HughesTooling mentioned, Project Leopard is our browser version of Fusion.

I can't help but notice I don't see any signs of a web based version anywhere on the Fusion site and projectleopard.com seems to be down. 

What are the odds of getting Fusion 360 running on Ubuntu?

@Anonymous Have a look through this forum, look for Fusion in browser. Not sure if anyone's tried it with linux, have you got a Fusion account?

Thanks @HughesTooling, I didn't realize there was a preview available for this.  I signed up, but we shall see if I can get access.

Fingers crossed that this will work on Chrome 🙂
