🗒 What is Autodesk Fusion 360?
Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing that offers an affordable, powerful alternative to other well-known solutions on the market. ⚗️ 🔭 🔬 🔩 🛠
⚠️ But the problem is that it usually only works on systems that have Windows or macOS installed as the operating system. ⚠️
⛔️ However, I do not use either of these two operating systems on my devices! ⛔️
🐧 I’m using a Linux distribution such as openSUSE Tumbleweed and needed a solution to this problem. 🐧
🔍 I started looking at different tools, testing different approaches and ideas until I chose Wine. 🔍
🍷 Wine (originally an acronym for «Wine Is Not an Emulator») is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. 🍷
🪄 And so, with this nice tool, we no longer need two operating systems for Fusion 360 if you or I want to create an awesome project in the future. 🪄
💡 Is this a good idea for the future of Autodesk Fusion 360? 💡
🚀 I personally like this idea and for that reason I will do my best to give you the possibility to use it on Linux too! 🚀

📋 What can you do with Autodesk Fusion 360?
| 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. |

💰 How much does Fusion 360 cost?
| 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. |

Note: These Linux distributions are not officially supported by Autodesk!
Note: There is a list of tested graphics cards that will work with Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux!
*Note: That still needs to be checked if it works on Linux!
| 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 |
📖 What else is there to consider when it comes to the requirements?
🔹 Check the Health Dashboard!
🔹 You must have installed the latest graphics driver!
🔹 You need the latest version of wine (6.23 and newer) and winetricks! Installing yad is also recomended to resolve potential instalation issues.
🧩 And would you like to use extra functions or languages as like the Czech language later in Autodesk Fusion 360, then you need a special extension what you must have bought and downloaded before you can install this with my Setup Wizard! 🧩
🔹 Check my GitHub-Documentation & Videos before you install Autodesk Fusion 360 on your system!
🔹 Check, if your network settings are correctly configured!
🔹 Check, if your system meets all requirements!
🔹 You need an active Fusion 360 license!
🔹 Open a terminal and run this command:
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 🔹 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:
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 🔹 Or you install and use Autodesk Fusion 360 as a Flatpak app:
https://usebottles.com/app/#fusion360 🔹 Now, You can use Autodesk Fusion 360 on your Linux system!
📖 Which script releases are available?
There are some script releases available, built from the release targets. It’s recommended that if you’re new you start with the stable builds. Development builds are available here if you need it, but correspondingly may be less stable. In the development branch you will find, for example, the upcoming versions of my setup wizard, as well as builds that run with the help of Flatpak or Docker/Podman.
