Autodesk Fusion
What is Autodesk Fusion?
Fusion is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing.
- Design and engineer products to ensure aesthetics, form, fit, and function.
- Reduce the impact of design, engineering, and PCB changes and ensure manufacturability with simulation and generative design tools.
- Directly edit existing features or model fixtures with the only truly integrated CAD + CAM software tool.
