Fusion is a cloud-based computer Aided design, manufacture and engineering tool for collaborative product development.
00:11
Fusion combines fast and easy organic modelling along with precise solid modelling
00:16
to help you create manufacturable designs.
00:19
When it comes to design, you can choose from integrated methods such as free form,
00:24
parametric sheet metal, direct surface or mesh model editing.
00:29
If your design is more on the artistic side, you can create a form and then manipulate faces,
00:35
edges and vertices to get your desired geometry.
00:38
If your design has finer details,
00:41
then you can use parametric modelling which ensures your design has a timeline
00:45
so any design changes are captured and updated throughout the model
00:49
to ensure the correct form and fit.
00:51
If your design has sheet metal parts, you can use the sheet metal tools to create flat patterns while compensating for bends.
01:00
To design without any restrictions, you can use the direct modeling method to translate,
01:09
rotate and change geometry without breaking a complex feature.
01:13
This is useful for quick edits, de-featuring or repairing imported geometry from other CAD tools.
01:20
To patch openings in a model or create other complex designs, you can use surface modeling.
01:29
If you have scanned files that are brought in as an STL or OBJ,
01:35
you can use the mesh tools to repair or edit the files.
01:39
Fusion gives you the flexibility to choose your preferred modeling method
01:45
when it's most convenient in your product development process,
01:48
even combine them to create innovative designs.
01:52
Next, using generative design will simultaneously synthesize multiple CAD ready solutions
01:59
based on real world manufacturing constraints and product performance requirements.
02:04
When you've created your geometry, you can assemble the pieces and ensure the proper motion is captured and constrained.
02:11
Assembly modeling will let you establish working relationships between the components with joints such as the sliding or rotational joints.
02:20
With joints, you can limit the range of motion, add cause and effect, and other relationships.
02:27
Before moving forward with the design, you can perform a simulation inside of Fusion in the Simulation Workspace.
02:34
To validate your design, You have the choice between study types like the common linear static analysis, to thermal, modal frequency,
02:42
structural buckling, and more.
02:45
You can offload the study generation to the cloud which enables you to generate more studies
02:51
without using up your own computing power.
02:53
This means you can go through more study types and more iterations to gain valuable insights about your design.
02:60
Ultimately, you use these insights for better design decisions at whatever stage of the design process.
03:07
Collaboration is made easy with Fusion Hub.
03:10
Whether you're on a Mac, PC, web browser, or mobile device,
03:15
use Fusion Hub as a single place to discuss, markup and collaborate on designs.
03:21
You can also use Fusion Hub to manage your teams and projects.
03:25
Once you've had feedback and finalized your designs,
03:29
you can create high quality renders to document your designs.
03:33
When you're ready to send your designs for manufacture,
03:36
you can create production drawings.
03:38
You can layout views, add dimensions, tolerances, and create a bill of material.
03:44
To aid any drawings you can create animations to help describe assembly or disassembly procedures.
03:51
It is important to build a strong understanding of how designs are made and assembled.
03:58
This design forethought will make those inevitable design changes easier
04:01
when designing for your own applications.
04:04
Once you're familiar with the design processes, you can continue your learning journey
04:09
by learning about using the manufacturing capabilities that come within Fusion,
04:13
so you can transform your designs into real products.
04:17
To program your part from manufacturing, Fusion has tool paths for 2 1/2, 3, 3 plus 2, 4 and 5 axis milling.
04:29
In addition, turning and mill turn and 2D profiles for water jet,
04:34
laser or plasma cutting jobs.
04:37
To help improve your workflow, you have access to a fully customizable tool library.
04:43
On your machine. reduce setup time and increase process reliability with automated probing cycles.
04:50
With an extensive list of finishing strategies, you can tackle any geometry to get your part machined.
04:57
You can also access tools for additive manufacturing.
05:01
Here you can generate a toolpath for your additive process
05:06
and then simulate it so you can have confidence that your part will come out as you expect.
05:11
Lastly, you can use the Electronics workspace inside Fusion to create electronic designs.
05:18
Create your schematics and PCB designs and then export your file for manufacture.
05:27
As you can see, there is so much to unpack.
