Parametric modeling

Mesh modeling

Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files.

Freeform modeling

Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and edit them with intuitive push-pull gestures.

Rendering

Create photo-realistic images of your model, leveraging local or cloud rendering.

PCB design integration

Synchronize bi-directional changes from your electronics designs seamlessly with Autodesk EAGLE interoperability.

Sheet metal

Design sheet metal parts, document flat patterns with 2D drawings and DXFs, and manufacture using waterjet, laser, or plasma cutting.

Assemblies

Design to manufacture

Autodesk Fusion simplifies CNC programming with adaptive roughing, 2D–5-axis milling, probing, turning, mill-turning, and powerful post processing.

2D and 2.5D machining

Quickly set up jobs and create 2D and 2.5D toolpaths for routers, mills, waterjet, and laser cutters with integrated CAD-driven revisions.

3-axis machining

Use powerful 3-axis machining strategies to quickly create high-quality NC code for roughing and finishing 3D parts with intuitive workflows.

Multi-axis positional machining

Unlock 3+1 and 3+2 positional machining to reduce setups, improve accuracy, and cut faster with shorter, more rigid tools.

4 and 5-axis simultaneous milling

Use advanced 4- and 5-axis toolpaths with tool axis control and automatic collision avoidance for smooth motion and superior surface finish.

Turning

Program 2D turned parts with dedicated turning strategies and verify toolpaths using stock simulation to detect errors or collisions.

Turn-mill

Combine milling and turning to generate NC code for complex parts using multitasking machines that support both machining methods.

Setup probing and part inspection

Use spindle-mounted probes to measure stock, update offsets, automate setup, and monitor machining quality to save time and cost.

Additive manufacturing in 3D

Quickly create physical prototypes with additive manufacturing in Autodesk Fusion, using a library of 3D printers like Ultimaker, EOS, and Renishaw.

Fused filament fabrication

Manufacture parts with FFF from design to print prep, reducing print time and material use with infill, auto orientation, and slice simulation.

Associative programming

Toolpaths update automatically with design changes, making it fast and easy to machine prototypes using integrated manufacturing tools.

Metal additive manufacturing

Fabricate metal parts with powder bed fusion, reducing material use and cost with automated orientation and associative supports.

Generative design optimization

Identify your design requirements, constraints, materials, and manufacturing options to generate manufacturing-ready designs.

Machine learning and AI

Review cloud-generated design outcomes based on visual similarities, plots, and filters powered by machine learning.

Native, editable results

Avoid lengthy, manual import-export processes. Choose your outcome and start editing in your modeling environment immediately.

Cloud solve

Simultaneously solve for various design outcomes, freeing up your time to focus on other tasks.

Costing

Make informed early design decisions by estimating how generative outcomes and production volume impact manufacturing cost.

Digital simulation

Test designs under real-world conditions with digital simulation, reducing prototyping costs using fully validated solvers.

Cloud simulation

Use cloud simulation in Autodesk Fusion to run multiple FEA studies without expensive hardware and gain deeper design insights.

Study breadth

Test for eight different failure criteria, including nonlinear, event, and more.

Simplify

Cut solve time or explore design changes specific to the simulation workspace.

Compare results

Use the compare workspace to view up to four design iterations side by side and easily assess the impact of design changes.

Static stress

Use static simulations to quickly analyze the effects of static loads on parts or assemblies and introduce the benefits of FEA.

Modal frequency

Avoid unwanted resonance using FEA and modal frequency simulations, one of eight simulation types included with Autodesk Fusion.

Thermal and thermal stress

Use thermal analysis in Autodesk Fusion to evaluate temperature, heat flow, and improve thermal management using conduction, convection, and radiation.
