What\u2019s a Fusion Hub? How do you make sure your team is in the same Hub? Follow this guide to achieve a seamless Autodesk Fusion onboarding experience for your team.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fusion Hub is the foundation of collaboration in Fusion<\/a>. It’s where your team stores projects, manages design data, controls access, tracks revisions, and works together throughout product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up your Hub correctly from the start helps ensure everyone collaborates<\/a> in the same workspace, avoids data silos, and works from a single source of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, you’ll learn what a Fusion Hub is, who needs one, how to set it up, and how to make sure your entire team is working in the same environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an Autodesk Fusion Hub?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An Autodesk Fusion Hub is the central collaboration workspace where your team stores projects, manages design data, controls access, tracks versions, and collaborates throughout product development. Every Fusion project lives inside a Hub, making the Hub the foundation for organizing design, engineering, manufacturing, and electronics work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re a solo designer or part of a larger organization, your Hub acts as the shared environment that keeps files, revisions, people, and workflows connected. Once configured correctly, it becomes the single source of truth for your product data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between a Fusion Hub and a Fusion Project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many new users confuse Hubs and Projects.<\/p>\n\n\n

Think of a Hub as your organization’s digital workspace and Projects as the folders where actual design and manufacturing work happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who needs a Fusion Hub?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyone collaborating with other people in Fusion benefits from using a Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common users include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Product designers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Mechanical engineers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Manufacturing engineers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • CNC programmers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Electronics engineers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Engineering managers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Project managers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • External collaborators<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Even small teams can benefit from having a shared environment where everyone works from the same data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Should I use one hub or multiple hubs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In most cases, a single Hub is the best approach. One Hub allows everyone to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Access the same product data<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Share projects easily<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Collaborate across departments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Maintain consistent permissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Track revisions in one place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Instead of creating multiple Hubs, most organizations simply create separate Projects for different products, customers, or business units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Examples might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Product development<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Customer Projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Manufacturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • R&D<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Electronics Development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        A single Hub with multiple projects is typically easier to manage than multiple disconnected Hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n
