Hello!

Wonder myself if there any Linux available and\or open-source CAD that can be analogue to Fusion 360? Or maybe anyone had attempt to make similar one to Fusion 360?

FreeCAD seems to be very unfriendly for me as daily user to get jump into 3D design world. Fusion 360 on the opposite - very easy to manage to intuitively and learn fastly

Thanks

P.S. Yes, beside Blender maybe?

Oh really? I had no idea that fusion360 did toolpath stuff. Oops.

I used to model in openSCAD and do tool paths in fusion. Good combo for the most part, but there were some issues like cutting slots that never worked well; the slot always had to be wider than the tool. Fusion works better on its own proprietary models than on STLs.
