Claas Kuhnen is back with another fantastic and in-depth tutorial on 3D product design. Be sure to also check out his tutorial on modeling a Braun KS 20 Coffee maker that he posted last week.
This came up in a discussion in the Facebook group for the Ender 3 3D printer. Somebody suggested replacing Fusion 360 with Blender, which is an absolutely. How to import or open designs or drawings in Fusion 360. Opening a file in Fusion 360 The file can be a previously saved Fusion 360 design, or a file saved locally on your computer by performing the following steps: Click File. The Open dialog box will appear showing your cloud data. Navigate to a file listed in your cloud data and click Open to open the file. To open a file saved. This came up in a discussion in the Facebook group for the Ender 3 3D printer. Somebody suggested replacing Fusion 360 with Blender, which is an absolutely. How is blender modelling workflow (with advanced boolean addons like Hard-Ops and BoxCutter) compared to Fusion 360 in product design? I'm interested in using blender.
In this 3 part video lecture I showcase a modern approach to product design where I start the conceptual phase in Blender and finish the rapid prototype ready product in Fusion 360.
Readcube desktop. Traditionally organic shapes are very difficult for NURBS modelers, an area where Blender with subdivision surface sculpting is very efficient at it. In addition I structure my design steps in Blender in a way with modifiers to generate CAD like data outcomes that borrows from the workflow native to solid modelers like Fusion 360.
Photoshop full version. Fortunately Fusion 360 has the ability to load obj mesh data and convert it interactively into NURBS surfaces you can start a design in Blender, make use of the fantastic geometry generating effects such as mirror, array, displace, bend, and such and then send the data to Fusion to just finish the design without the need to restart from scratch. A problem often faced when SketchUp is being used as a quick concept modeler.

In my work I do not follow the goal to do a full design only in one software but see different software packages as toolboxes and try to use what is available on a project. This in my experience broadens your modeling and thus design abilities significantly.
Enjoy!
