Product development in the 21st\u00a0century is driven by technology. See how Autodesk Fusion helps teams face modern challenges head-on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gone are the days of hand-drawn sketches, a lengthy prototype and testing stage, and a completely separate fabrication process. Manufacturing has evolved considerably over the past few years, with a new generation of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software available that makes product development easier and faster than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autodesk\u00a0Fusion<\/a>\u00a0is leading the field with its innovation and breadth of features that push the boundaries of product development. Let’s explore why design and engineering teams choose Fusion for their modern product development needs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Full integration from design to manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n

Fusion is a true end-to-end product development tool, as it includes CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB and PLM tools all in one platform. The ability to do it all in one environment saves a lot of time and effort compared to learning multiple software, not to mention the cost savings too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autodesk Fusion even includes PCB design tools. Learn more about this project here<\/a>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fusion enables you to 3D model using parametric, direct, solid or surface and other geometries by either importing them from a different tool or creating them directly. You can then use its simulation tools to test and validate your ideas. Additive manufacturing is supported so that prototypes can be made and tested rapidly. Fusion’s CAM features help you control the production of the finished parts, supporting additive\u00a0(3D printing) or subtractive\u00a0(CNC machining) manufacturing techniques. And all of this occurs on the cloud, porviding seamless data management tools for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cloud-based collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt that Fusion is versatile. It can run on Windows or MAC, as well as through a browser. It uses cloud computing to boost processing power, speeding up memory-intensive tasks such as rendering or generative-design iterations. The cloud also makes file storage and retrieval much easier for product development teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fusion’s cloud-enbaled collaboration tools mean that tasks requiring teamwork such as design reviews can be done remotely and in rel-time, saving time and money. The product development cycle has never been easier to navigate and complete, which means more products can be put out to market in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n
