Autodesk Fusion offers multiple design spaces to create 3D models with capabilities like modeling, simulation, manufacturing, sheet metal, surfacing, and mesh workspaces. After selecting the appropriate workspace, you can use multiple professional tools to create basic shapes for ideation. Drawings for product documentation, robust mesh tools for 3D scanned objects, surfacing for industrial design, and even manufacturing models for the CAM environment. Then, refine your ideas using more features available in extensions - like product manufacturability insights from our Product Design Extension.
Autodesk Fusion includes robust 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tools all in one package.
The direct modeling tools in Autodesk Fusion allow you to modify the geometry of a model without having to edit the interim model stages. You can seamlessly make design changes without causing modeling errors.
Autodesk Fusion fully supports parametric modeling, the automatic change of an entire design when one dimensional value changes. With Autodesk Fusion, you can quickly resize, add features, and re-version a model and see the changes in real-time.
The flexible toolset in Autodesk Fusion makes 3D surface modeling easy. Create the external aesthetics of an object using built-in tools like freeform sculpting, polygon manipulation, and parametric modeling.
Freeform tools provide an alternate modeling approach to explore and create T-spline based models in seconds using direct manipulation.
Edit and repair mesh files inside your CAD tool. Use the mesh to make a sketch cross section, then add parametric features to the design.
Autodesk Fusion includes tools to bend, edit, and flat pattern sheet metal designs. Capture all the steps to build sheet metal components and ensure their success through integration with our fabrication tools in the CAM environment.
