Cloud-based software for 3D product design

3D Modeling with Fusion 360

Autodesk's Fusion 360 unifies design, engineering, electronics, and manufacturing into a single software platform.

Direct modeling with Fusion 360

Direct modeling

Fusion 360's direct modeling tool allows 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.

Parametric modeling with Fusion 360

Parametric modeling

Fusion 360 fully supports parametric modeling, the automatic change of an entire design when one dimensional value changes. With Fusion 360, you can quickly resize, add features, and re-version a model and see the changes in real-time.

Surface modeling with Fusion 360

Surface modeling

The flexible toolset in Fusion 360 makes 3D surface modeling easy. Create the external aesthetics of an object using built-in tools like freeform sculpting, polygon manipulation, and parametric modeling.

Other 3D modeling tools in Fusion 360

Fusion 360 includes additional robust 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tools all in one package.

  • Freeform modeling with Fusion 360

    Freeform modeling

    Freeform tools provide an alternate modeling approach to explore and create t-spline based models in seconds using direct manipulation.

  • Mesh modeling with Fusion 360

    Mesh modeling

    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.

  • Sheet metal modeling with Fusion 360

    Sheet metal modeling

    Fusion 360 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.

Fusion 360 is free for personal, home-based and non-commercial product developmen use. Your subscription can be renewed on an annual basis.

There are more than 400 configurable manufacturer-certified 3D CAD models in the Fusion 360 library. Simply use the search filter to find the model that is right for your project.

Fusion 360's user interface was designed to support fast learning, particulalry for those already familiar with CAD, CAM, and CAE tools.

Fusion 360 is available by monthly ($60), annual ($495), and three-year ($1,335) subscription. Purchase your subscription directly from the Autodesk store.

Fusion 360 from Autodesk is both PC- and Mac-compatible so you can use your preferred OS or both at no additional cost.

You can create a new sketch in Fusion 360 by selecting an origin plane, a construction plane, or an existing flat face. Then, click the Create Sketch button in the tool bar.
