What is Autodesk Fusion, and how is it different from Fusion 360?

Autodesk Fusion is the current name for the product previously called Fusion 360. It's the same unified, cloud-based platform for CAD, CAM, CAE, electronics and data management — now simply "Autodesk Fusion."

What's included in a Fusion subscription?

A single subscription includes 3D design and modeling, manufacturing (CAM), simulation, electronics, generative design tools, cloud data management and 2D documentation. Advanced capabilities are available through optional extensions.

Which operating systems does Fusion run on?

Fusion runs on both Windows and Mac and stores your data in the cloud, so your team can collaborate on the same up-to-date model from anywhere.

Can we try Fusion before we buy?

Yes. A free trial is available, and free options exist for qualifying startups, students and educators. Choose "Start a free trial" in the form and our team will help you get set up.

How is Fusion licensed and priced?

Fusion is sold as a subscription, with single-user and multi-user options plus optional extensions. Request a quote and we'll recommend the right plan for your team size and workflow.

Do you provide support in our region and language?

Yes. As an authorized Autodesk distributor, we provide local sales, onboarding and technical support across Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, including Vietnamese-language assistance.

WHY TEAMS STANDARDIZE ON FUSION

Fewer tools. Fewer handoffs.
Faster products.

Faster time to market

Move from concept to production in one continuous workflow and release ahead of the competition.

Less rework, higher quality

Validate designs with built-in simulation and keep everyone on the correct version — automatically.

Lower total cost

One subscription replaces separate CAD, CAM, ECAD and data-management licences.

THE PLATFORM

One platform for the entire
product development process

More than CAD. Fusion connects every stage of design and make in a single
place — replacing disconnected point tools with one source of truth from
concept through manufacturing.

3D Design & CAD

Parametric, direct, surface, freeform and mesh modeling in one modeler.

Manufacturing & CAM

2D to 5-axis machining, turning and probing with intelligent toolpaths.

Simulation & CAE

Validate strength, thermal and motion with 11 study types before you cut metal.

Electronics & PCB

Schematic capture and PCB layout with true ECAD/MCAD co-design.

Generative Design

Explore high-performance, lightweight options driven

by your real constraints.

Data Management PDM

Cloud version control and

an automatic audit trail — everyone on the right file.

Drawings & Docs

Generate manufacturing-ready 2D drawings and BOMs straight from the 3D model.

Fusion Manage PLM

Configurable PLM for new product introduction, change and BOM processes.

THE FUSION PORTFOLIO

One connected family — from
first concept to the shop floor

Fusion is the foundation. Add role-based solutions and connected products
as your needs grow — all in the same cloud ecosystem.

Autodesk Fusion

How the portfolio maps to the product lifecycle

Solution	Conceptualize	Engineer	Manufacture	Produce
Fusion for Design	Advanced concept development, generative design, surfacing and configurations	Detailed design, simulation, validation, documentation and data management	Design-for-manufacturing and design-to-production continuity	Controlled release, change and product information (not shop-floor execution)
Fusion for Manufacturing	Basic concept development	Modify, validate and prepare production-ready designs	Advanced CAM, multi-axis machining, additive workflows, process automation and inspection programming	Machine instructions and in-process inspection (not overall factory execution)
Fusion Manage	Requirements, portfolio management, idea management and NPI	BOM, change, release, task and supplier management	Manufacturing BOM coordination, sourcing processes and production readiness	Quality, nonconformance and lifecycle feedback (not direct shop-floor control)
Fusion Operations	—	Released product and process information taken in	Production planning, resource scheduling and work preparation	Shop-floor execution, digital work instructions, production tracking, quality, maintenance and traceability
