Well, electronics designers, you asked, and now we have a treat for you. We&#8217;ve partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapeda.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SnapEDA<\/a> to create the SnapEDA for Autodesk Fusion 360 app. This new add-on integrates SnapEDA\u2019s component database directly within Fusion 360. You can now search and place millions of ready-to-use electronic component CAD models\u2014including symbols, footprints, and 3D models\u2014directly within the Fusion 360 environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fusion 360 already provides a native electronics design experience, but this comprehensive part library takes it to the next level. \u201cOur collaboration with SnapEDA puts its robust libraries of part models easily at the fingertips of Fusion 360 users, immediately benefiting the engineers and designers who are building the future,&#8221; says Srinath Jonnalagadda, Autodesk\u2019s VP of Business Strategy &amp; Marketing for Fusion 360.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SnapEDA Fusion 360 app features thousands of electronic component manufacturers. New supplier content is updated each day to save you time and energy. Notably, the SnapEDA database includes over 500,000 complex connector models from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samtec.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samtec<\/a>. Its connector models are especially useful because connectors often take many hours or even days to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how does it work? Simply search for the part you need by entering the manufacturer part number or a keyword like \u2018USB type c connector&#8217;. After selecting a part, either place it directly in your design or add it to your library for future use. Your library is then synced with <a href=\"https:\/\/library.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Library.io<\/a> to enable corporate sharing or with other Autodesk tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/eagle\/free-download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EAGLE<\/a>. Check out the below video for a full tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.snapeda.com\/plugins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The SnapEDA Fusion 360 app is free and available for download here.<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this video to learn more:<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fusion 360 Electronics Add-In: SnapEDA | Autodesk Fusion 360\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2XIZmhZL3PI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, we&#8217;ve got you excited about the SnapEDA Fusion 360 app, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/8-reasons-to-use-fusion-360-electronics\/\">here are eight more reasons<\/a> to use Fusion 360.
