Autodesk Fusion 360 combines CAD, CAM, CAE and PCB into a single, integrated cloud software platform. It includes all the tools that you need to go from design to manufacturing, seamlessly.
With Fusion 360, you'll be able to:
Fusion 360 offers various 3D design tools that include sketching, direct, surface, parametric, mesh and free-form modelling, as well as rendering, PCB design integration, sheet metal and assembly design.
Fusion 360 makes it easy to programme 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, customisable design rules, SPICE simulation, electronics cooling and more. Fusion 360 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 optimisation and more.
Generative design technology in Fusion 360 enables you to explore endless manufacturing-ready design concepts and optimise for specific constraints, materials and production processes.
Fusion 360 puts data and collaboration at the centre as a cloud product development platform. Share projects securely with stakeholders anytime, anywhere. Review designs, track changes and provide feedback in real time using a single tool.
Fusion 360 offers affordable and flexible subscription options for those who would like access to all features and functionality. A subscription gives you access to fully featured:
You can try all the features and functionality of Fusion 360 with a free 30-day trial.
Fusion 360 is free for personal, hobbyist users. Fusion 360 for personal use (formerly known as Fusion 360 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 Fusion 360 for home-based, non-commercial design, manufacturing and fabrication projects only.
Fusion 360 is free for qualifying students and educators giving you access to free professional 3D modelling, CAD, CAM, CAE and PCB. With Fusion 360, 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.
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 modelling. 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 modelling tools in Fusion 360.
Take your 2D sketches to 3D design with this introduction to 3D modelling series. You'll learn how to edit 3D models, apply materials and appearances, the difference between direct and parametric modelling and more.

Fusion 360 and AutoCAD are both CAD software tools. Even though they are both developed by Autodesk, their working ideas and practices are slightly different. Fusion 360 is an integrated 3D modelling, CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB, collaboration and data management platform whereas AutoCAD is a 2D and 3D CAD drafting software.
Fusion 360 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, modelling and generative design tools. Since your Fusion 360 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 optimise 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 360 for Product Design.
Fusion 360 includes a variety of resources to help you learn the software quickly and 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 360, you also get access to in-product chat and technical support.
Yes, Fusion 360 for Mac delivers unified CAD, CAM, CAE and PCB software in a flexible, complete package available for Mac OS and mobile devices. Fusion 360 for Mac provides a collaborative platform to help streamline the product development process from design to manufacturing.
