Autodesk Fusion 360 is more than just CAD. It’s the future of design and manufacturing, combining CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB into a single integrated cloud software platform. Let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons you need to switch to Fusion 360 so you can do your job faster and with fewer headaches.
1. Data and collaboration at the center
From the beginning, Fusion 360 was built with a collaboration-first mindset. While designing with multiple stakeholders internally and externally to your firewall, you can simultaneously work on complex assemblies, with a plethora of tools directly within the context of your assembly alongside your peers. Better yet, leave the 90s by sharing your work seamlessly with stakeholders outside the firewall safely simply with a link. They can view it in their browser to comment and markup ensuring you get feedback early in the development process.
2. One product, unlimited possibilities
Products are getting more complex and require more than just traditional CAD tools to bring a design to market. Fusion 360 allows you to integrate unlimited workflows including CAD, E-CAD, visualization, CAE, documentation, and CAM, all within a single tool. There’s even full associativity, so a design change made anywhere reflects everywhere. Reducing the amount of mundane rework typically required when you go to “partner” tools.
3. Your gateway to secure, anytime access
Next, This is not your “traditional” CAD tool that couldn’t foresee the progression from today’s computing advancements. Fusion 360 allows organizations to deploy software, permissions, and data to the essential stakeholders, ensuring security across all essential IPs. And as a user, you can access your data at any time on any device simply with your corporate credentials. Do you remember the days of VPNing or not having access to the right sub-assembly? Well, those are no longer.
4. Modern CAD and 3D modeling tools
If you come from a traditional CAD tool, you’ll be mind blown by the flexible design tools in Fusion 360. Experience the freedom of design with integrated modeling techniques. Freeform, surface, parametric, direct, sheet metal, mesh — you name it. Not only do we get it, but they work together in workflows you have never imagined.
5. Customizable advanced functionality
But it doesn’t stop there. Fusion 360’s integrated partnership ecosystem, community, and learning resources are creating the next generation of designers, engineers, and manufacturers. We’re here to grow with your business no matter the size. You can even expand capabilities with Fusion 360 extensions to ensure the most complex jobs get done ahead of schedule.
