Features to support your operations

Automatic packing

Arrange many parts in the build space in as little space as possible, while avoiding collisions and interlocking.

Additive toolpaths

Define build strategies and toolpath parameters for maximum surface quality, part density, and speed.

MPBF and DED

NETFABB LOCAL SIMULATION ONLY Use multiscale modeling to simulate the thermal and mechanical response of parts and help reduce build failures with metal powder bed fusion (MPBF) and direct energy deposition (DED).

Configurable build supports

Mitigate excessive distortion during powder bed processing with customizable supports.

Preloaded workspaces

Reduce configuration time on machine setup with pre-loaded additive manufacturing machines.

Thermo-mechanical analysis

NETFABB LOCAL SIMULATION ONLY Detect temperature history, deformation, stress, and strain, along with support structure failures and recoater blade interference .

"[Our] reactor module is an incredibly complicated piece of engineering and it was only made possible by Autodesk software."

— Enass Abo-Hamed, CEO, H2GO Power

"Generative design and additive manufacturing excite me because they allow us to deliver performance to our customers."

— Kevin Quinn, Director of Additive Manufacturing, General Motors

"When you design something so critical for a human being ... that's a life changer."

— Carlos Monroy, CEO, Granta

Questions? We have answers.

Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb is an additive manufacturing software tool used for preparing, cleaning, slicing, toolpathing, simulating additive manufacturing, and much more. You can use Netfabb to automate additive manufacturing processes, organize and nest parts for build packing, clean up mesh data to be manufacturable, and even create custom adaptive lattice forms. Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb is an ideal tool for any industrial-grade additive manufacturing workflow, regardless of technology.

Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb is used by additive engineers, industrial designers, mechanical engineers, and anyone else who needs to work with up-leveled additive manufacturing workflows.

The Fusion with Netfabb subscription entitles the user to Autodesk Netfabb Premium with select functionality from Netfabb Ultimate, Autodesk Fusion, Autodesk Fusion Manufacturing Extension, Autodesk Fusion Team, and HSM Works. A subscription to Netfabb Local Simulation entitles the user to Autodesk Netfabb Local Simulation, Autodesk Fusion, Autodesk Fusion Team, and HSM Works. Since both offerings listed above include access to Autodesk Fusion, the ability to access other Fusion extensions is also available through the use of Autodesk Flex.
