What is Autodesk Fusion 360?
Autodesk Fusion, formerly known as Fusion 360, is a cloud-connected platform that combines 3D CAD, CAM, CAE simulation, and PCB design in one environment. It supports parametric, direct, surface, freeform, and mesh modeling, and because design, simulation, and manufacturing data live in the same model, changes flow automatically across drawings and toolpaths, reducing rework and version conflicts.
Its CAM workspace generates and simulates CNC toolpaths for 3, 4, and 5-axis milling, turning, and cutting, with post-processed G-code for a wide range of controllers. Fusion includes built-in data management and version control, and a free plan is available for non-commercial personal use alongside paid subscriptions aimed at individuals, small shops, and larger manufacturing teams.
