Learn how AI is shaping real-world product design and manufacturing. See how Autodesk Fusion uses AI to improve decision-making, reduce iteration cycles, and help engineering teams work faster and more consistently. AI in manufacturing is embedded in how products get designed, tested, and built today. It isn’t about replacing engineers or automating creativity. It’s about…

Learn how small design and manufacturing teams handle growing product complexity using parametric modeling, configurations, and connected BOM workflows in Fusion. For small product teams, complexity doesn’t scale linearly, it compounds. A handful of SKUs becomes dozens of variants. A clean assembly becomes a web of dependencies. A straightforward handoff to manufacturing turns into version…

Learn about the new Fusion Data MCP Server that connects AI tools to Fusion project data so teams can manage permissions, folders, and project structure through natural language. Managing a Fusion project involves more than designing. There is access control to maintain, folder structures to organize, team members to onboard, and project hierarchies to keep…

Build a Fusion add-in without coding using AI agents. Learn how the Fusion MCP connects tools like Claude and Cursor to automate workflows, test scripts, and accelerate add-in development. The Claude Desktop connector for Fusion arrived alongside something just as monumentus official MCP’s for Fusion. Any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol can now…

This article explores the challenge of managing design changes during new product development (NPD) and why unstructured processes derail timelines and inflate costs. It examines how Autodesk Fusion gives cross-functional teams a connected, traceable system for handling change requests, approvals, and bill of materials (BOM) updates from first prototype to final release. The causes and…

Explore how personalization is reshaping furniture design and how Autodesk Fusion for Design helps designers create customizable, production‑ready furniture. Personalization has become the defining force in modern furniture design. Customers no longer want one‑size‑fits‑all products. They expect furniture that reflects their space, lifestyle, materials preferences, and aesthetic. From made‑to‑order cabinetry and modular seating to bespoke…

Project success depends on smooth transitions between the design, simulation, and manufacturing phases. Autodesk Fusion is a connected product development platform that maintains a single source of truth, accelerating development. Moving from design and production is possibly the greatest challenge in all of product development. Whereas designers focus on aesthetic intent and functional requirements, manufacturing…

ECAD MCAD collaboration connects electrical and mechanical design into a unified workflow, helping teams reduce rework, improve product fit, and accelerate time to market with Autodesk Fusion. If your electrical and mechanical teams are still passing STEP files back and forth, you already know the problem. Designs drift. Late-stage conflicts show up in enclosures, connectors,…

Consumer trends influence product design decisions around cost, speed, and sustainability. Learn how to adapt design strategy to change. Consumer behavior used to evolve gradually. Today, it shifts in waves, driven by economic pressure, digital expectations, sustainability concerns, and cultural change. For decision makers, this has changed the role of product design entirely. Design is…
