Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Which operating system does Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect run on?

Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect runs on Microsoft® Windows® 10 and Windows® 11. See system requirements for details.

What is Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect used for?

Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect is metrology software used to measure complex 3D shapes using different types of hardware. PowerInspect works with contact-based hardware, such as coordinate measuring machines, articulated arms or spindle-mounted probes in CNC machines. PowerInspect also works with non-contact hardware (such as structured light scanners). Inspection typically compares a physical component against a 3D CAD model or 2D drawing.

Who uses Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect?

Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect software is used by manufacturers to monitor and control the quality of parts being produced, as well as inspectors and quality control engineers to inspect parts. CNC machine operators who use on-machine verification also use PowerInspect software to assist with part setup and measurement, ensuring parts are produced to specification and within tolerance.

How much does an Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect subscription cost?

Contact your local Autodesk sales team to discuss your business needs and review subscription pricing options.

Which versions of Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect can I use if I subscribe to the current version?

Your PowerInspect subscription gives you access to install and use the three previous versions. Available downloads are listed in your Autodesk Account after subscribing. See also previous releases available for subscribers.
