Design and manufacturing solutions for everyone

Autodesk Fusion is the end-to-end design and manufacturing solution for your business, enabling engineers, designers, and machinists to modernize their product development with tailored workflows and capabilities.

Design and manufacturing team capabilities and workflows

Unified functions

Working in disconnected product development tools can cause errors and delays. Enable seamless teamwork in the same workspace, without the need for multiple tools.


Data management

Storing files locally in different formats can cause version control, collaboration, and security issues. Bring your teams onto one secure, cloud workspace for accessible, current, and secure data.


Access and control

Managers often struggle to get project updates in a timely manner. Fusion provides up-to-date progress info, controlled access to audit trails of changes, comments, and history.


Automated drawings

Streamline design documentation to enable quick and precise 2D drawings from 3D models, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.


Machining capabilities and workflows

Automated machining

Program complex, feature-rich components with ease using intelligent whole-part strategies like steep & shallow, deburr, hole recognition, and rotary.

 


Toolpath modifications

Speed up CAM programming with powerful modification tools that can turn a good toolpath into a great one - all without wasteful recalculation time.

 


Multi-axis simultaneous machining

Achieve superior surface finish with specialized 4- and 5-axis toolpaths. Additional axis controls and collision avoidance ensure safe, smooth machine motion.


Setup probing and inspection

Save time and money with spindle-mounted touch probes for CNC machining. Measure stock material, update work offsets, monitor quality, automate part setup, and more.


Electronics engineering capabilities and workflows

Component libraries

Reduce engineering workload, design new components with ease, and decrease the need for manual content creation with comprehensive component libraries.


Synchronization

Reduce errors, enhance efficiency, and improve accuracy. Synchronization between PCB and schematic in an ECAD application maintains design integrity and consistency.


Live DRC and insights for design constraints

Design your printed circuit boards rapidly and efficiently, leveraging real-time constraint violation detection for immediate alerts on component placement and trace routing issues.


Unified design environment

Empower collaboration between electronic and mechanical engineers in a unified design platform. Enhance accuracy and efficiency by eliminating error-prone conversion steps.


Industrial design capabilities and workflows

Configurations

Configurations provide an intelligent way to maximize the utility of parametric designs. Gain the ability to create and manage multiple design variations from a single, unified model.


Collaboration

Remove the silos from your traditional design process and use a modern collaboration environment. Connect your teams and clients, communicate in real-time, and centralize project activity.


Generative design

Explore multiple manufacturing-ready outcomes that meet your design specifications while reducing weight, improving performance, and consolidating parts through generative design.


Parametric modeling

Maximize the utility of parametric designs with configurations. Create and manage multiple design variations from a single, unified model.


Mechanical engineering capabilities and workflows

Versatile 3D design

Engineer products with a comprehensive set of modeling tools, including 3D parametric modeling, mesh, surfacing, and automated design capabilities. Ensure your products' form, fit, and function with diverse analysis methods.


Cloud collaboration

Break free from traditional design silos. Embrace a modern collaboration environment to connect teams and clients, communicate in real-time, and centralize project activity.


Rapid simulation

Discover manufacturing-ready outcomes that meet design specifications, reduce weight, improve performance, and consolidate parts through generative design.


Integrated CAD+CAM

Effortlessly adjust dimensions and geometries with a few clicks, saving time, and reducing errors. Every changes reflects across the entire model for design consistency.
