Autodesk Fusion is an end to end Design and Make platform built for how manufacturers work today. Work in a single environment with connected design, engineering, and manufacturing – unlike SOLIDWORKS, where you are managing multiple tools, add-ons, and versions of the truth.
Autodesk Fusion features a quick installation process, professional grade tools, and an easy to navigate user interface – allowing teams to easily collaborate, onboard new users, and manage data on a common platform.
