Task management
Keep teams aligned and productive with automated real-time alerts and status tracking for new tasks, pending actions, and changes in product data. Speed up action-taking and increase visibility of project updates across your organization.
Additional Fusion for Design capabilities
Mechanical Design
Parametric modeling
Parametric design (US Site) and direct modeling (US Site) allow for swift, efficient design changes, with automatic design updates that accommodate manufacturing needs.
Associative modeling
Design for manufacture
Automate the preparation of 2D and 3D models (US Site) to enable effective manufacturing to start sooner, with powerful workflows to create jigs, fixtures, and more.
Design Automation
Engineering drawings
Automate the creation of 2D drawings (US Site) and manufacturing setup sheets (US Site) then share them securely with your team to keep everyone informed and connected.
Product Design Essentials
Intelligent modeling tools
Create parametric CAD models using sophisticated design tools and automated feature creation while using material-based guidance on design choices.
Generative Design
Performance-driven outcomes
Generative design outcomes generated from user-specified parameters can help you discover weight reduction and performance enhancements.
Design validation
Precision-focused simulations
Optimize part performance and manufacturability with visual simulation insights from analyses like FEA, electronic cooling, injection molding, and more.

Autodesk Fusion for Design is built for organisations that want to increase innovation, reduce development costs and start manufacturing sooner. These organisations typically consist of engineers and designers tasked with the responsibility of designing and validating a product.
Autodesk offers a range of Autodesk Fusion extensions that unlock additional capabilities within the core Autodesk Fusion product. Autodesk Fusion for Design differs in that it combines multiple extensions into a single subscription to provide an integrated solution for product development. A subscription to the Autodesk Fusion for Design offering includes Autodesk Fusion, Autodesk Fusion Design Extension, Autodesk Fusion Simulation Extension, AND Autodesk Fusion Manage, at a discounted price. These combined capabilities empower you to bring your products to life with advanced 3D modelling, intuitive generative design, simulation for product performance and manufacturability, and data management across your company departments and geographies.
Customers can choose to subscribe to the Autodesk Fusion for Design for 1 year or 3 years. The longer 3-year term allows customers to lock in the price and get the greatest return on investment. See subscription options here.
The simulations available in Autodesk Fusion for Design are identical to the simulations accessible through a subscription to the Simulation Extension alone. This encompasses a wide range of simulations, such as electronic cooling, static stress, nonlinear static stress, quasi-static event simulation, dynamic event simulation, modal frequencies, shape optimisation, structural buckling, thermal analysis, thermal stress analysis and plastic injection moulding. Generative design is also included.
