This guide highlights tools to master, best practices, and things to be aware of as you get up to speed with manufacturing in Fusion 360.
Getting Started

Learn when to use joints and constraints in Autodesk Fusion to build efficient assemblies, control motion, and manage complex component relationships. When building assemblies in Autodesk Fusion, understanding how to effectively position and relate components is fundamental to creating efficient, well-structured designs. Two primary methods exist for establishing these relationships: the Joint command and the…

Static stress simulations in Autodesk Fusion uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate stress, displacement, and safety factors for parts and assemblies under applied loads before manufacturing. Static stress simulations in Autodesk Fusion enables engineers and designers to predict how parts will behave under real-world loads before manufacturing. Using finite element analysis (FEA), you can…

Unlock smarter additive workflows in Fusion with new arrangement criteria. In additive manufacturing, how parts are arranged within a build volume directly affects print time, part quality, and overall efficiency. This process—often called nesting—can be complex, especially when balancing competing goals like density, speed, and thermal stability. For the Fusion April release, we have introduced some new controls…

What's New

Learn how BOM management in Autodesk Fusion reduces errors, prevents rework, and keeps design and manufacturing aligned with a single live BOM. Errors rarely originate on the shop floor. They often begin earlier, when teams are working from outdated, incomplete, or disconnected bills of materials (BOMs). Even small discrepancies in part quantities, properties, or structure…
Data management

Design for manufacturing tips to reduce cost, simplify production, and improve quality. Learn practical DFM strategies engineers can apply early in design. Design for manufacturing is the discipline of ensuring a product can be built repeatedly, at quality, and at cost, before any chips are made or tooling is cut. By treating design for manufacturing…
