Description
The article discusses the features of the Autodesk Fusion 360 software and how it can be used for product design. The software is available as a subscription and includes updates and support. There are two versions available, a desktop software and a cloud-based software. The desktop software can be used on Mac or PC, while the cloud-based software can be used on both Mac and PC. The software includes features for product design, such as sketching, parametric modeling, sheet metal design, freeform modeling, and mesh modeling. The software also includes features for PCB design, with the ability to synchronize changes between the software and an electronics design.
Autodesk Fusion - 1 Year Subscription
Fusion is the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind. Create 3D CAD models for industrial and mechanical design in one easy-to-use, integrated cloud-based tool for product design. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform that works on both Mac and PC.
Features
Continuous updates
Fusion updates continuously so that you can access to the latest technology at no extra cost.
Forum, email, and phone support
Support from the Fusion team on the forums, direct email, and phone support services.
Flexible subscriptions with cloud credits options
Annual and monthly subscriptions are available, and include cloud credits with purchase.
Sketching
Create and edit sketches with sketch constraints and dimensions. Turn sketches into 3D objects.
Parametric modeling
Create history-based features (i.e. extrude, revolve, loft, sweep) that update with design changes.
Sheet metal
Design sheet metal components using sheet metal rules. Document and manufacture flat patterns using 2D drawings and cutting strategies.
Freeform modeling
Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-Splines, and increase the density of T-Spline faces.
Direct modeling
Edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats.
Mesh modeling
Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models (i.e. STL, OBJ files).
Surface modeling
Create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing, patching, or designing geometry.
Assemblies
Design assemblies with a traditional bottom-up or top-down approach and analyze assembly motion.
PCB design integration
Design the PCB object directly in Fusion. Synchronize bi-directional changes from your electronics designs seamlessly with Autodesk EAGLE interoperability.
