Hello,
The majority of what I do is for laser fabrication, some 3D printing, but not much. I wanted to build my models in 3D in order to ensure accuracy of part joints. It's easy to make a measuring mistake in 2D.
I've not messed with Inventor, but it seems like Fusion360 has kind of caught on with a lot of people. One can catch it on a discount and it's not horrible. It is the only software that I subscribe to and for what I do, its the price of a couple of meals eating out a month.
