A Free, Browser-Based Fusion 360 Alternative

Want a free Fusion 360 alternative with no install? OwlCAD is browser-based parametric CAD for 3D printing — editable history, fillets, exact dimensions, STEP, and print-aware export, with no desktop app or Autodesk account.

Parametric CAD for printing — no install, no account.

OwlCAD gives you editable history, fillets, exact dimensions, STEP, and print-aware tools in the browser — free, with nothing to download. Lighter than Fusion and focused on designing parts you’ll actually print.

The parts that matter for 3D printing

OwlCAD isn’t a full mechanical CAD/CAM suite — no simulation or toolpaths — but for designing print-ready parts, it covers the ground that counts.

Runs in the browser

No desktop install and no Autodesk account — open a tab and start modeling. Fusion 360 is a desktop app you download and sign into.

Parametric history

Re-open a past sketch, boolean, or dimension and the model rebuilds downstream — a real, editable timeline you can scrub.

Exact dimensions & fillets

Type lengths and angles, add constraints, round or bevel single edges, and measure between any two points. Precision, not eyeballing.

Print-aware by default

True millimetres, printer profiles for Ender 3, Prusa, and Bambu Lab, auto-orient, scale-to-fit, watertight checks, hollowing, and repair.

STEP in and out

Import and export solid STEP, plus STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, and SVG — so your work flows between OwlCAD and the rest of your CAD tools.

Optional AI generation

Describe a part and get an editable starting point — parametric or mesh. Included with OwlCAD Pro.

Try it in your browser

No download, no account to start — open the editor and build something printable.

Frequently asked questions

Is OwlCAD a free alternative to Fusion 360?

Yes — OwlCAD is a free, browser-based parametric CAD for 3D printing with editable history, fillets, exact dimensions, and STEP export. The full editor is free, with an optional Pro plan that adds AI generation.

Do I have to install anything or create an account?

No. OwlCAD runs in any modern browser with nothing to download, and you can start modeling without an account — Fusion 360 is a desktop application that requires an Autodesk account.

Is it as powerful as Fusion 360?

OwlCAD is lighter and focused on designing parts for 3D printing — parametric solids, sketches, booleans, fillets, print-aware checks, and STEP. It is not a full mechanical CAD/CAM suite like Fusion, and does not include simulation or toolpaths.

Can I open my Fusion 360 models?

Export a STEP, STL, 3MF, or OBJ from Fusion and import it into OwlCAD — units are detected on the way in. STEP comes in as a solid you can keep building on.
