PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is Autodesk Fusion?

Autodesk Fusion is an integrated, cloud-connected product development platform from Autodesk. It brings 3D CAD, CAM, CAE simulation, electronics and PCB design, data management and collaboration into one environment, so teams can move from concept and modeling through validation and manufacturing without switching tools. Parametric, direct, surface, freeform and mesh modeling support complex parts and assemblies, while AI-powered tools such as generative design, AutoConstrain and Automated Drawings help reduce repetitive work. It is aimed at product designers, engineers, manufacturers, electronics engineers and machine shops. Fusion runs as a desktop app on Windows and macOS, with browser access for viewing and working with designs online. A 30-day free trial is available, and paid subscriptions are offered with monthly, 1-year and 3-year terms.
