Autodesk Fusion is the starting point for many manufacturers providing all the essential tools you need for 2D, 3-axis to 3+2 CAM programming, 3D printing, and cloud-based collaboration. Autodesk Fusion for Manufacturing is a more capable version of Fusion that provides additional, advanced CAM capabilities for CNC machining (milling and turning), sheet-based nesting and fabrication, and 3D printing in a range of materials.
Autodesk Fusion for Manufacturing is a special offering that combines Autodesk Fusion and the Fusion Manufacturing Extension at a discounted price.
No. A subscription to Autodesk Fusion includes powerful CAD/CAM workflows but it also includes FREE access to an online library of editable post-processors capable of generating NC code for a wide range of different CNC machines. These post-processors can be edited by end-users. For more advanced post-processor configuration, a global network of authorized Autodesk resellers can provide a high-quality service (this may incur a fee).
Yes. A subscription to Autodesk Fusion includes FREE access to online libraries of ancillary components that are often used by manufacturers, including:
* Note some of these services may incur additional fees.
Quickly. Fusion is incredibly easy to use thanks to its modern interface, intuitive workflows, and library of online learning content. Depending on your specific needs, it's highly likely you'll become productive within a few hours or days.
Fusion is the fastest-growing CAD/CAM software available today. Autodesk releases updates to Fusion every 8 weeks meaning we can react to your needs quickly and provide the latest technology to support your business. As you'd expect from a professional-grade CAM tool, Fusion offers powerful programming tools for 2D, 2.5D, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling on a growing range of CNC machine types and NC controllers. What makes Fusion 360 different is how it puts your data at the center of everything you do, allowing your team and your stakeholders to work together seamlessly.
