Freeform Modeling

Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and increase the density of T-spline faces.

It would have taken an entire day, maybe 2, but with T-spline modeling, I was able to do it in minutes.
- Jason Pohl Senior Designer, Orange County Choppers

Surface Modeling

Create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing, patching or designing geometry.

It’s like a digital version of clay, except when you’re pushing it around, it doesn’t leave thumbprints.
- Jason Pohl Senior Designer, Orange County Choppers

Parametric Modeling

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

It really frees you up and you stop being timid. You just do it, because it’s all being captured right now.
- Gareth Conner Creative Conners

Mesh Modeling

Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files.

The best thing about Fusion 360 is you can integrate different modeling styles.
- Matt Johnson Industrial Designer, Coalesse

3D Printing

Build supports, preview slices, and generate toolpaths for a variety of 3D printers, and then send designs directly to your favorite 3D print utility.

Within 10 minutes, we see something in 3D and then send it to the 3D printer.
- Ian Redern Fabric

CAM

Your toolpaths update with every design change through our fully integrated manufacturing tools, making it quick and easy to machine prototypes.

This has allowed me to reduce the production time by nearly 80%.
- Consumer Product Company

Rendering

Create photo-realistic images of your model, leveraging local or cloud rendering.

It’s so easy to render, the team was able to create 15 variations of color and material in 15 minutes, not 120 minutes it would have taken before.
- Mike Kowalski Brownlie Design

Define Project Objective

Identify your design requirements, constraints, materials, and manufacturing options to generate manufacturing-ready designs.

Additive manufacturing and generative design are helping improve product performance for our customers, optimizing strength, weight, and cost.
- Steven Szymeczek Co-Founder, Penumbra

Generate & Explore Designs

Simultaneously generate multiple options of your design in order to meet manufacturing process and product performance requirements.

Generative design is so unique. It allows us to explore many different design options we wouldn't have been able to with traditional methods.
- Kevin Quinn Director, General Motors

Export CAD-ready Files

Choose a generative design outcome to export and import the CAD-ready geometries into Fusion 360. The results can be edited with T-spline tools for any fine adjustments or aestheic requirements.

Things like generative design allow us to implement, execute, and manufacture in a completely different fashion than we're thinking today.
- Frank DeSantis VP, Black & Decker

Cloud Solve

Using cloud credits, simultaneously solve for various design outcomes, freeing up your time to focus on other tasks.

We don’t have to spend months & years guessing & simulating what we think the right solution is, we look at a whole range of solutions, telling us if our idea is feasible right from the beginning.
- Matt Otto R & D Engineer, Crown Equipment

Cloud Simulation

Using cloud credits, setup and analyze multiple tests quickly while eliminating the need for expensive hardware.
