This is a project, where I give you a way to use Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux!
Features | Description of the feature |
---|---|
3D design and modeling | Engineer products with a comprehensive set of modeling tools. Ensure your products' form, fit, and function with diverse analysis methods. |
Sketching | Create and edit sketches with sketch constraints, dimensions, and a powerful suite of sketch tools. |
Direct modeling | Edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats. Make design changes without worrying about time-based features. |
Surface modeling | Create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing, patching, or designing geometry. |
Parametric modeling | Create history-based features, including extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, etc., that update with design changes. |
Mesh modeling | Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files. |
Freeform modeling | Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and edit them with intuitive push-pull gestures. |
Rendering | Create photo-realistic images of your model, leveraging local or cloud rendering. |
PCB design integration | Synchronize bi-directional changes from your electronics designs seamlessly with Autodesk EAGLE interoperability. |
Sheet metal | Design sheet metal part components. Document flat patterns using 2D drawings and DXFs. Manufacture your designs with cutting strategies for water jet, laser, and plasma machines. |
Assemblies | Assemble designs with a traditional bottom-up, middle-out, or top-down approach, and analyze assembly motion. |
License | Description of the license |
---|---|
Free Trial | Autodesk offers a 30-day free trial after registration. |
Personal | Autodesk offers a free, feature-limited, 1-year, renewable trial for personal use only |
Education | Like most CAD packages, Fusion 360 offers an educational license for students, teachers, and educational institutions. |
Start-up | There are free licenses for start-ups as well as for non-commercial private users. Companies with annual sales of less than USD 100,000 are eligible for the start-up license. But it doesn't include any of the more advanced features like generative design. |
Standard | There have been two versions of the paid license so far: Standard and Ultimate. However, they have been merged into one version that includes all the features of the Ultimate version. Fees are incurred as part of a subscription. |
System requirements for Autodesk Fusion 360 | |
---|---|
Operating System |
Linux distributions
Note: These Linux distributions are not officially supported by Autodesk! |
CPU Type | x86-based 64-bit processor (for example, Intel Core i, AMD Ryzen series), 4 cores, 1.7 GHz or greater; 32-bit not supported |
Memory | 4 GB of RAM (integrated graphics recommend 6 GB or more) |
Graphics Card | DirectX11 (Direct3D 10.1 or greater) = DXVK Mode OpenGL (2.0 or greater) = OpenGL Mode Dedicated GPU with 1 GB or more of VRAM Integrated graphics with 6 GB or more of RAM Note: There is a list of tested graphics cards that will work with Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux! |
Disk Space | 3 GB of storage |
Display Resolution | 1366 x 768 (1920 x 1080 or greater at 100% scale recommended) |
Pointing Device | HID-compliant mouse or trackpad, optional Wacomยฎ tablet and 3Dconnexion SpaceMouseยฎ* support
*Note: That still needs to be checked if it works on Linux! |
Internet | 2.5 Mbps or faster download; 500 Kbps or faster upload |
Dependencies | SSL 3.0, TLS 1.2+,ย yad, dialog, p7zip, p7zip-full, p7zip-rar, curl, wget, winbind, cabextract, wine, wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks; .NET Framework 4.5 (winetricks) or newer required to submit crash reports |
Recommended specs for complex modeling and processing | |
---|---|
CPU Type | 3 GHz or greater, 6 or more cores |
Memory | 8-GB RAM or greater |
Graphics | Dedicated GPU with 4 GB or more VRAM, DirectX11 (Direct3D 10.1 or greater) = DXVK Mode, OpenGL (2.0 or greater) = OpenGL Mode |
mkdir -p "$HOME/.fusion360/bin" && cd "$HOME/.fusion360/bin" && wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/main/files/builds/stable-branch/bin/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
๐น Currently, Fusion 360 for Linux is broken. Autodesk requires your browser to open to a page to log in to Fusion 360, but we do not yet have a way to open the link in a browser. Please bear with us as we research and develop a solution. In the meantime, you can use this command to install Fusion 360 for Linux with an older version of Fusion 360 that does not require browser sign-in:
-> This bug has been fixed!
mkdir -p "$HOME/.fusion360/bin" && cd "$HOME/.fusion360/bin" && wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alextrical/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/main/files/builds/stable-branch/bin/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
๐น Or you install and use Autodesk Fusion 360 as a Flatpak app:

๐น Now, You can use Autodesk Fusion 360 on your Linux system!
