FUSION 360 FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
Connect your disconnected
processes.
Stop battling your tools. Design, engineer, simulate, and
manufacture all in one product development platform.
Push the limit with 3D modeling
Don't let your current tool dictate your workflow. Engineer your products with a complete set of 3D modeling tools that include parametric, freeform, direct, and surface modeling.
Solve engineering challenges faster
Simultaneously generate multiple options of your design while consolidating parts, reducing weight, and improving overall product performance.
Avoid overpriced simulation tools
Test your designs to ensure they will survive real world conditions using one model, in one affordable platform.
Outperform with Fusion 360
100x
Investigate upwards of 100 design iterations in the amount of time it would traditionally take to complete one.
5x
Design and build a product in one day instead of an entire business week.
75%
Reduce your engineering time by 75% when compared to traditional design methods.

3D Design & Modeling
Engineer products with a comprehensive set of modeling tools. Ensure form, fit, and function of your products with various analysis methods.
Sketching
Create and edit sketches with sketch constraints, dimensions, and a powerful suite of sketch tools.
What used to take days, now is done in hours
- Jim McWherter Brand Motion
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.
- Kate Jovanovic
Surface Modeling
Create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing, pathcing or designing geometry.
In Fusion 360, within 20 minutes I had both contract points for the truck. In another tool, I would have budgeted 3-4 hours.
- Ed Eaton Dimonte Group
Parametric Modeling
Create history-based features, including extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, etc., that update with design changes.
With the eight-hour process for me to do in another tool, I can hop into Fusion 360 and have something in two hours the first time.
- Christian WelchSwissomation
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
Freeform Modeling
Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and edit them with intuitive push-pull gestures.
Fusion 360 allows me to resolve the form in 3D & create renderings 50% faster than existing tools.
- Deborah Laun Browntie Design
Rendering
Create photo-realistic images of your model, leveraging local or cloud rendring.
It's so easy to render, the team was able to create 15 variations of color and material in 15 minutes, not 120 minutes it would have taken before.
- Mike Kowalski Browntie Design
PCB Design Integration
Synchronize bi-directional changes from your electronics designs seamlessly with Autodesk EAGLE interoperability.
Fusion 360 has reduced our time to market by about 60%.
- KMP Motorsports
Sheet Metal
Design sheet metal parts components, document flat patterns using 2D drawings and DXFs, and manufacturing 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
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.
- Consumer Goods Product Designer

"To support our company's growth, we require scalable, flexible, cost effective software tools, which are focused on innovation and value rather than squeezing maximum revenue from dated software. Fusion 360 has so far exceeded our requirements for mCAD."

See how Claudius Peters is modernizing its product development process with generative design in Fusion 360
The team at Claudius Peters is using generative design to reimagine the design and fabrication of some of its largest equipment. The improved designs will reduce the weight of this equipment by an estimated 25%.
