Fusion 360

Fusion 360 is a modern 3D CAD/CAM tool for product development. With Fusion 360 you have one integrated tool to take your idea from concept to manufacture. With built-in collaboration you can work with anyone, anywhere and because it’s cloud based you can access your designs anywhere, on any device.

Features:

Iterate Designs, Explore Forms

• Surface Modeling - Explore ideas and create organic shapes with T-Splines push-pull commands.
• Solid Modeling - Direct and history based modeling are seamlessly integrated.
• Parametric Modeling - Make changes that automatically update corresponding values and functions of the design.
• Mesh Modeling - Import OBJ or STL bodies as mesh models to create custom designs conforming to mesh surfaces.

Engineer Designs, Explore Function

• Data Translation - Import and export design files with unlimited CAD translation of over 50 file types.
• Assembly Modeling - Assemble components and show how they work in relation to one other.
• Joints & Motion Studies - Create relationships, simulate motion, and review the fit and function of designs.
• Rendering - Visualize designs with a variety of rendering tools, environments, effects, and visual styles.
• Animations - Communicate design concepts with 3D exploded views and animations to show how a model is built or functions.

Fabricate Designs

• 2.5 Axis & 3 Axis Machining - Prepare designs for machining with integrated CAM for 2D and 3D milling.
• 3D Printing - Set up designs for 3D printing within Fusion 360.
• Drawings - Document designs with associative 2D drawings - any changes made to the model will be automatically updated.

Collaborate & Manage Designs

• Collaboration & Sharing - Collaborate within Fusion 360 by tracking and commenting on project progress, or share project components with other team members.
• Version Management - Store and manage all design data in one place with auto-save or manual version control.
• Mobile Viewing & Management - Access designs on the go with the free Autodesk A360 app or in a web browser.
• Share or Publish Data & Designs - Share designs with the community or with individuals with secure public sharing links.

Other Features

• Enhanced Support - Get help with prioritized form responses, email, and extended phone support hours with an Autodesk support agent.
• API Extensibility - Create custom JavaScript’s or use sample scripts for bolt generation, spur gear generation, and simple built of materials extractor.
• Form Inspection & Analysis - Validate a model with curvature comb analysis, zebra analysis, draft analysis, curvature mapping, interference checking, assembly motion studies and more.

The price quoted is that of a standard annual subscription. Monthly subscriptions are also available.
