Cloud-based software for 3D product design
Autodesk's Fusion 360 unifies design, engineering, electronics and manufacturing into a single software platform.
Fusion 360's direct modelling tool allows you to modify the geometry of a model without having to edit the interim model stages. You can make design changes seamlessly, without causing modelling errors.
Fusion 360 fully supports parametric modelling, 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.
The flexible toolset in Fusion 360 makes 3D surface modelling easy. Create the external aesthetics of an object using built-in tools like freeform sculpting, polygon manipulation and parametric modelling.
Fusion 360 includes additional robust 3D CAD, CAM and CAE tools all in one package.
Freeform tools provide an alternative modelling approach to explore and create t-spline based models in seconds using direct manipulation.
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.
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 gives you the flexibility to choose your preferred modelling method when it's most convenient in your product development process. You can even combine the tools to enhance workflow and reduce the amount of time it takes to complete designs.

Understand how Fusion 360 delivers enhanced process management and creative workflow to furniture design. Learn ten ways this software package can take your furniture designs to the next level.
Fusion 360 is free for personal, home-based and non-commercial product development 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, particularly 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.
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.
