How to Build Your Own Autodesk Fusion

Quickly set up jobs and create 2D and 2.5D toolpaths to drive CNC routers, mills, water jet cutters, laser cutters, and more

Access powerful 3-axis machining strategies to rapidly create high-quality NC code for roughing and finishing 3D parts

Use specialized 4- and 5-axis toolpaths to achieve superior surface finish with automatic collision avoidance

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

Enable 3+1 and 3+2 (positional) machining to machine parts with fewer setups using shorter, more rigid cutting tools

Create history-based features including extrude, revolve, loft, sweep that update with design changes

Assemble designs with traditional bottom-up, middle-out, or top-down approach and analyze assembly motion

Create and manage multiple design variations from a single unified parametric model

Edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats without worrying about time-based features

Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and edit them with intuitive push-pull gestures

Ready to use PCB library content and component wizards to stay focused on design

Stay true to manufacturing requirements with customizable design rules and Live DRC with real-time constraint violation detection

Remove excess heat within enclosures to prevent damage to internal components

Ensure PCB fits first time with the only genuinely unified MCAD to ECAD software allowing collaboration between electronic and mechanical engineers

Bi-directional synchronization between PCB and schematic maintaining design integrity and consistency

Predict unexpected failure modes for slender members under compression

Use cloud simulation eliminating need for expensive hardware and setting up multiple studies for FEA insights

Compare up to four different design iterations side by side in compare workspace

Use finite element analysis to avoid unwanted resonance and improve designs

Analyze permanent deformations and nonlinear materials behavior

Use models and data from any tool directly in Autodesk Fusion design without need for translation

Access data anywhere and everywhere on any device with offline mode for continued working when not connected

Export variety of industry-standard file formats including STEP, DWG, DXF, OBJ, STL, IGES, and more

Include internal and external stakeholders in development process and manage how users interact with data

Assign permissions and grant rights to stakeholders inside or outside of organization with advanced administrative tools

Manage design changes with audit trails of changes, comments, and history for access control

Capture and share feedback from any device directly on the design using comments and markups

Connect teams across various departments and locations both internally and externally using single platform

Share links to preview in web browser allowing any third parties to interact with 3D model without modeling program access

Enable seamless teamwork in the same workspace for simultaneous work on same files

Connect to library of 3D printing machines including Ultimaker, EOS, and Renishaw

Toolpaths update with every design change through fully integrated manufacturing tools

Manufacture parts using FFF in seamless approach from design to print preparation with infill pattern options and automatic part orientation

Fabricate metal parts with powder bed fusion reducing material wastage with part orientation and support structures

Simultaneously solve for various design outcomes freeing up time to focus on other tasks

Estimate production volume requirements impact on manufacturing cost based on generated design outcomes

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

Review cloud-generated design outcomes based on visual similarities, plots, and filters powered by machine learning
