A unha ollada

Temas	Solidariedade	Fusión 360
Licenzas / Custo	código aberto (MIT OU Apache-2.0), descargas gratuítas	Subscricións comerciais; Autodesk tamén ofrece limitacións gratuítas/hobby (confirmar no sitio web de Autodesk)
Maturidade	Inicio; “usable para partes sinxelas” por proxecto	Suite de produción CAD
Parametric solids	Sketch → timeline features, parameters, assemblies/joints (in progress per roadmap)	Full parametric modelling + history
Drawings / CAM / Sim	No CAM or sim in the app; drawings in progress (not shipped)	Integrated (product-dependent)
Surfacing / T-splines	Some surface tools; fuller set listed as next on the roadmap	Form / T-spline workflows
Plataformas	Windows, Linux desktop; web (wasm); macOS builds in releases	Windows, macOS; cloud services
AI / automation	First-class MCP server + CLI commands	Various Autodesk AI features; not the same as local MCP (uncertain / different model)
File formats	.sc (older .solidcraft still opens); STEP/IGES/3MF/STL/OBJ; FreeCAD/Rhino import via cadmpeg	Native .f3d/.f3z plus many interchange formats
Cloud collaboration	Local-first; designs stay on your computer (or in browser storage in the web app)	Cloud projects / team features

When SolidCraft is a good fit

Queres unhaopen-source, agent-drivable CAD kernel/UI for learning, scripting, or MCP-based workflows.
Parts are relatively simple solids / enclosures / sheet-metal subset — matching the project’s stated scope.
You need headless CLI measurement/export in CI or agent loops.

When Fusion 360 (or another mature CAD) is still the better fit

You need production drawings, CAM toolpaths, simulation, or advanced surfacing today.
You rely on Autodesk’s ecosystem, manufacturers’ Fusion-centric pipelines, or managed cloud teams.
You require signed installers, enterprise support SLAs, or certified training paths.

Migration guide (honest)

There is no documented one-click Fusion → SolidCraft importer for native .f3d files in the SolidCraft materials reviewed for this page. Practical path:

Export from Fusion as STEP (preferred for solids) or IGES / 3MF / STL depending on need.
Open in SolidCraft: SolidCraft part.step, or File open / drop on the window; CLI: SolidCraft-cli eval part.step. STEP becomes an Import base feature you can build on. Since 0.21.0 you are asked before a stand-up; use right-click Levantar os eixos later if needed.
Expect loss of Fusion feature history — parameters and timeline features do not transfer through STEP. Rebuild critical features parametrically in SolidCraft if you need editability.
Meshes (STL/OBJ/3MF/glTF) import as mesh bodies (render/measure/move/export); solid features need B-rep. SolidCraft’s mesh.convert can reconstruct some constant-section parts (see README).
FreeCAD users: .FCStd import via cadmpeg is documented — sometimes a useful intermediate if you already have FreeCAD in the loop.

Uncertain / verify yourself: exact Fusion export settings for best SolidCraft STEP fidelity; large assembly performance on your own files (the 0.17.0 release notes report a Prusa Core One STEP assembly importing in about a minute instead of 22.5 and reopening from its saved model in 0.15 s); material/appearance round-trips; PMI/drawings (SolidCraft defers drawings).
