Then I’d expect between 50$ to 100$ of profit margin per case. Let’s imagine I’d do a keyboard case GB( which I don’t ). The problem is that I suspect a lot of people are running GBs without running a company.Īnd as said the 1000$ max income for the personal license can quickly be a problem.

Hi are totally right about tax deduction, this is typically what companies are doing for tax optimizations. Other than that, I can’t even try for the startup license, and I really don’t want to pay their price for the commercial license if I do make something to sell since that nearly $500 a year is liable to be a chunk of any little things I’m able to do. f3d is still included in the personal license since that’s really all that I’d be missing from it right now. $100k seems like a lot, but for someone that does GBs that can come and go fast, like a couple GMK GBs can put you over $50k easy. The startup license allows for commercial use and has the filetype translation, but besides the rigorous application process the requirements include being under $100k gross income for the business it’s registered to.

There is the clause allowing commercial use under $1000 income, but that’s a super easy number to go over in the course of 1-2 GBs. f3d in the filetypes that are explicitly included, which can be a drawback as it was a super useful “all inclusive” format that worked well for parametric design customization. The main issue most small creators will see is the reduced functionality from removed access to filetype translators making it harder to work between different programs and F360. “For Startups” license is basically the same featureset currently available but has somewhat strict criteria to qualify and requires a stack of information to apply.“Personal Use” license is strictly non-commercial or up to $1000 income for a “hobbyist business” and has reduced access to filetype translation and export, as well as collaboration tools and data management.

Direct info on the subscriptions can be found at New Fusion 360 Subscription Types: Free for Hobbyists and Startups but the gist of it is: Autodesk has recently updated their ToS for Fusion 360 to change how their low end/hobbyist level subscriptions work.
