"Our customers expect everything to be right first time. Autodesk software helps us to be successful at that."

— David Krajci, Operations Director, 3-Dimensional Services

"PowerShape is an incredibly powerful program. It enables us to design molds for extremely complex geometries."

— Dave Tessin, Tool Room Manager, Steele Rubber Products

"We can extract the shapes using direct modeling tools and Parasolids, which is much faster than what we were using before."

— Brian Bendig, President, Cavalier Tool and Manufacturing

"PowerShape and PowerMill working together provide the agility and flexibility we need for maximum efficiency."

— Rob Carter, Group Machining Support Manager, Formaplex

Autodesk Fusion with PowerShape runs on Microsoft® Windows® 10 and Windows 11. See system requirements for details.

Autodesk Fusion with PowerShape is CAD modeling software designed to help manufacturers simplify the process of converting product designs into the molds, tools, and dies used to make them. PowerShape is an ideal modeling companion for CAM software, such as PowerMill or FeatureCAM, and helps create geometry to aid CAM programming. PowerShape can work with native CAD data from mainstream design systems. Intelligent workflows help you import, analyze, repair, and prepare complex parts for CNC machining.

Autodesk Fusion with PowerShape is commonly used by manufacturers who receive a finished product design and need to convert it into manufacturable parts (often molds, tools, dies, and electrodes) used for mass production.

PowerShape is typically used by manufacturing engineers and CNC machine operators who generate NC machining code that will be used to produce these same parts with CNC machinery.
