Trying to see weather fusion360 is right for
our company.
So many questions.
I am coming from creo.
Is there sheetmetal I can't see in demo version ?

Is 4 axis wire possible ?

Can you store your files locally or must you only
use cloud ?

Can you get help writing posts?

Is there good backup with software support ?

I am coming from creo! GREAT you will love Fusions easier UI and workflow!

 

Is there sheetmetal I can't see in demo version ? - Not yet I think but they are close to release it!

Is 4 axis wire possible ? - Yes - Google it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcS4VXGBnwU

Can you store your files locally or must you only use cloud ? - Cloud is build in, current designs are temp stored locally. But for backup you can always export it as an archive!

Can you get help writing posts? - Obviously we (I am) are here! This is a pretty active forum!

Is there good backup with software support ? - Not sure what you mean. Backuping designs? You can export a Fusion design as a Fusion archive and store it locally where you want!

That's 4 axis milling, Fusion can't do 4 axis wire. I use the water jet feature for 2 axis wire, I've modified the post for taper cutting as well.

Hi guys thanks for quick replies.

My last question of many to come was is there good help
When needed.

Wire cutting is a huge part of our work. If I thought
It's coming it will be a better proposition.

Creo has gotten me so down of late with system
Crashes regularly and very poor support.

I have been using it for 11 years. When we bout it
We were pretty much left in the dark.

Has either of you used creo before.
If so any thoughts on comparing the 2

Cheers
