Fusion delivers automated workflows for fabricators and engineers (video: 2:23 min.)
Fabricators and engineers need access to CAD/CAM software that supports their entire part design and manufacturing process.
From 2D to multi-axis, Autodesk Fusion provides professional-grade tools that can automate processes, optimise throughput, and enable cross-team or department collaboration for all fabrication needs.

Associative CAD/CAM tools automate the flow from 3D design to 2D nests and can automatically update when your designs change.
Intelligent nesting algorithms can replace the need for complex manual calculations and mislabelled parts, helping to save time and avoid mistakes.
Multi-sheet nesting can process different materials, thicknesses and part quantities to maximise yield and minimise waste.
Cloud-enabled collaboration tools help your design and production teams to work together seamlessly to avoid delays.
A comprehensive tool set allows for designs to be created with fabrication in mind along with the documentation and tooling needed in downstream processes.
Rapidly and efficiently arrange design objects into a sketch, face or plane with additional controls over multiple sheets, orientation and grain alignment.
Shorten programming times with streamlined designation of nestable/non-nestable parts with automatic face-up detection based on surface area.
Aggregate and nest components from multiple, external designs to create nest studies with control to over-ride quantity, material and sheet grain alignment.
Enhance collaboration with cloud-based stock material to set and manage nest outcomes and reveal insights about material usage and cost for your team.
Improve process quality by controlling the rotational allowance to align grain direction for materials such as wood, brushed aluminium and more.
Rapidly produce setups, tabs, DXF files, toolpaths and NC code for your CNC routers, waterjet, plasma and laser machines using a library of proven post processors.
Compare multiple nest studies for efficiency and cost to determine optimal settings. Produce custom reports and printable labels for use on the shop floor.
Automated tools take the pressure off your fabrication engineers removing the reliance on manual processes that can cause errors, increase costs and waste resources.
Powerful automated workflows convert your 3D models into efficient 2D nested solutions, helping you to start part production sooner.
Fusion calculates the most efficient way to nest multiple components into sheet stock to minimise waste whilst also saving remnant stock for later use.
Offline CAM programming creates G-code files in parallel with production, avoiding the backlogs caused by traditional, controller-based programming.
Cloud-enabled templates allow your engineering teams to build shareable standards that allow production to achieve repeatably high levels of quality.
Create highly efficient production cycles that reduce the consumption of time, materials and other precious resources.

Fusion provides offline CAM programming tools to create high-quality NC machining code for a variety of hardware types.
Routers are commonly used in woodworking and can range in size and style from a desktop 3-axis to a room-sized 5-axis configuration.
Waterjet cutters range from 2D and 5-axis to multi-headed machines that combine high-pressure water with an abrasive media to cut through a wide range of material types and thicknesses.
Laser cutters are used to cut various types and thicknesses of materials. Ranging from different types of steel to plastics and fabrics.
Plasma cutters are used to cut conductive metals using a jet of hot plasma. These CNC machines offer high precision at low cost.
