Overview
Conceptualize your various design interations in a single platform. The unified environment combines multiple modeling methods, giving you the flexibility to create high-quality products.
Sketching
Create and edit sketches with sketch constraints, dimensions, and a powerful suite of sketch tools. Control complex splines and curves with a robust analysis toolset.
As an industrial designer, this allows me to get the results that I seek... from sketch to a model ready for 3D printing.
- Ujwal IK
Freeform Modeling
Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and increase the density of T-spline faces.
It would have taken an entire day, maybe 2, but with T-spline modeling, I was able to do it in minutes.
- Jason Pohl Senior Designer, Orange County Choppers
Surface Modeling
Create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing, patching or designing geometry.
It’s like a digital version of clay, except when you’re pushing it around, it doesn’t leave thumbprints.
- Jason Pohl Senior Designer, Orange County Choppers
Parametric Modeling
Create history-based features, including extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, etc., that update with design changes.
It really frees you up and you stop being timid. You just do it, because it’s all being captured right now.
- Gareth Conner Creative Conners
Mesh Modeling
Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files.
The best thing about Fusion 360 is you can integrate different modeling styles.
- Matt Johnson Industrial Designer, Coalesse
Direct Modeling
Edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats. Make design changes without worrying about time-based features.
Creating 3D objects from 2D sketches is very easy. The modify tools in Fusion 360 make it possible to change your models.
- Carson Bruess
PCB Design Integration
Synchronize bi-directional changes from your electronics designs seamlessly with Autodesk EAGLE interoperability.
I like the integration between Fusion 360 and EAGLE. It's the main reason I decided on EAGLE.

- Christian Welch Swissomation
Direct Modeling
Edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats. Make design changes without worrying about time-based features.
I love creating models with Fusion 360, it is very easy to sculpt, shape, and scale. Other programs make it very square and not exactly what I want.

- Ed Eaton Dimonte Group
Sheet Metal
Design sheet metal parts components, document flat patterns using 2D drawings and DXFs, and manufacture your design with cutting strategies for water jet, laser and plasma machines.
We could finally use a CAD program that didn't need hours of preparation before starting to design. You just sit and start creating.
- Luciana Montivero
Mesh Modeling
Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files.
My favorite features are user experience and speed. Design something and then build it in a day, whereas previously it might have taken a week.
- Adam Ellison Co-founder, Modbot
Assemblies
Assemble designs with a traditional bottom-up, middle-out, or top-down approach and analyze assembly motion.
You can just start modeling your ideas... large assemblies can be animated well.

- Ryan Boyd The Wise Company
Public/Private Design Sharing
Shared links preview in a web browser, so any 3rd parties can interact with a 3D model, even if they don't have access to a modeling program.
Previously, I had to install eDrawings, then you can’t install or read it... send an .exe... email blocks it. With Fusion 360, just send the link.
