CAD/CAM Software - Need Help?

pepper said:

Can somebody help this SC find/locate a CAD/CAM or CAD software that would be suitable to begin with that has a relatively easy learning curve.

For use mainly to create/draw shop & jewelry items. 2D - 3D & 4 Axis capabilities and at the same time a SC can get a handle on it. There has to be something either new or free that would be a place to start. Any an all of your suggestions, assistance would be appreciated. Thank you very much. PW USAF 62-66

pepper,

Here is one option: free to students, hobbyists or non-commercial users,

Cloud Powered 3D CAD/CAM Software for Product Design | Fusion 360

One thing to know; software is 'cloud enabled' - software is downloaded and resides on your computer (PC or Mac), but storage is ultimately handled in the cloud. Software will operate locally on locally cached designs for extended periods of time, but ultimately wants to store design versions to the cloud.

Whether it is easy to learn and use depends on who you talk to
