They can also create all the manufacturing specifications that manufacturers need to begin assembling the product, including production drawings, part profiles, and assembly animations. Fusion 360 designs are saved on Autodesk's cloud platform, and users can access, comment on, and download any design they have access to from Fusion 360's web or mobile apps, in addition to Fusion 360 desktop.Īs a design enters its final phases, designers can produce realistically rendered mock-ups for use in presentations and promotional materials.

When engineers are ready to share a design with team members or a client, they can do so using Fusion 360's easily accessible cloud platform. It can also help engineers determine a product's optimal design, by automatically generating a design that accounts for performance requirements and manufacturing constraints. Fusion 360 allows engineers to perform a number of tests on their product designs, including motion tests, stress tests, thermal tests, and event simulations. Professional product designers use Fusion 360's freeform, parametric, sheet metal, direct, surface, and mesh modeling tools to create product designs, before testing those designs via Fusion 360's simulation tools. While Fusion 360 offers a free 1-year subscription for hobbyists, it is primarily a professional design tool. It allows users to model, test, and share product designs, as well as prepare materials to begin product manufacturing. Autodesk Fusion 360 is a 3D industrial and mechanical design tool that engineers use to develop products.
