Fusion offers various 3D design tools that include sketching, direct, surface, parametric, mesh, and free-form modeling, as well as rendering, PCB design integration, sheet metal, and assembly design.
Fusion makes it easy to program CNC machines. Manufacturing features include 2D and 2.5D machining, 3-axis machining, multi-axis positional machining, 4, and 5-axis machining, turning, turn-mill, probing, part inspection, and access to advanced machining capabilities.
Gain access to comprehensive electronics and PCB design tools, including schematic design and PCB layout tools, PCB manufacturing, customizable design rules, SPICE simulation, electronics cooling and more. Fusion allows ECAD and MCAD designers to collaborate on the same design. Your PCB data is your mechanical data.
Reduce prototyping costs with the built-in simulation functionality. Gain access to static and thermal stress, modal frequency, buckling, event simulation, shape optimization, and more.
Generative design technology in Fusion enables you to explore endless manufacturing-ready design concepts and optimize for specific constraints, materials, and production processes.
Fusion enhances teamwork and accelerates product development agility throughout your entire organization. It keeps your data centralized, easy to access, and secure, empowering your team to work more efficiently and with greater intelligence.
There are a variety of learning resources including video tutorials, self-guided courses, and product documentation to help you easily learn how to use Fusion 360.
The Fusion 360 fundamentals course walks through the basics of Fusion 360 before showing how to get started with 3D modeling. You'll learn how to navigate the user interface, set your preferences, adjust display settings, use the toolbox and more.
In this series of self-paced video tutorials, you'll learn how to get started with basic sketches and constraints and then learn how to use the solid modeling tools in Fusion 360.
Take your 2D sketches to 3D design with this introduction to 3D modeling series. You'll learn how to edit 3D models, apply materials and appearances, the difference between direct and parametric modeling and more.
Autodesk Fusion is free for personal, hobbyist users. Autodesk Fusion for personal use (formerly known as Autodesk Fusion for hobbyist users) is a limited-featured, free version that may be renewed on a yearly basis and provides limited capabilities.
To qualify, you must generate less than $1,000 USD in annual revenue and use Autodesk Fusion for home-based, non-commercial design, manufacturing, and fabrication projects only.
Fusion is free for qualifying students and educators giving you access to free professional 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB. With Fusion, you can create 3D designs, collaborate, manage data, create toolpaths, and run simulations to validate your designs.
Prepare yourself or your students for careers in design, engineering, and manufacturing.

Fusion and AutoCAD are both CAD software tools. Even though they are both developed by Autodesk, their working ideas and practices are slightly different. Fusion is an integrated 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB, collaboration, and data management platform whereas AutoCAD is a 2D and 3D CAD drafting software.
Fusion connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform for Mac and PC. Explore and refine the form of your design with sculpting, modeling, and generative design tools. Since your Fusion designs are stored and shared with your team in the cloud, you can iterate on your design ideas in real-time, which increases team productivity. You can optimize and validate your design with assemblies, joint and motion studies, and simulations. Then communicate your design through photorealistic renderings and animations. Finally, you can print a rapid prototype of your design on a 3D printer or generate CAM toolpaths for CNC machines to manufacture your design. Learn more about Fusion for Product Design.
Fusion includes a variety of resources to help you learn the software quickly in successfully. These include self-paced learning video tutorials, product documentation, in-product learning modules, YouTube tutorials, and quick tip videos, and Forum support from your extensive community of users. With a paid subscription to Fusion you also get access to in-product chat and technical support.
