Design beautifully and manufacture efficiently

Incorporating DFM principles (US Site) into the design process reduces errors, production time and costs.  Autodesk Fusion allows engineers to consider manufacturing processes, materials and constraints during the design phase to ensure that the final product can be produced efficiently, cost-effectively and with high quality.

Transform workflows by connecting design and manufacturing

Reduce product and production defects

Utilise product design insights, simulation and visualisation tools to minimise rework and troubleshoot product defects early in the design process.

 

Collaborate with ease

Involve entire teams, individual stakeholders and project vendors when you need to get meaningful feedback on design decisions.

 

Deliver products timely and sustainably

Apply key DFM insights to help reduce material waste, consolidate the number of assembly parts and get production cost estimates. 

 

“The simulation extension has helped us test structural loads to ensure compliance, as well as design for manufacturability for injection-moulded products.”

– Tyler Berryman, Product Design Engineer, Brash Inc.

Autodesk Fusion has everything you need to design for manufacture

Simplified Collaboration

Seamlessly collaborate with cloud-based data ensuring teams work on the same data. Web browser access grants entry for extended teams and captures design conversations.

 

Integrated CAD/CAM

Move seamlessly between design and manufacturing workspaces to optimise designs for ease of manufacturing and improve the utilisation of resources.

 

Extensive Simulations

Autodesk Fusion's simulation environment tests your design under real-world conditions prior to production, minimising the risk of manufacturing failures or design flaws.

 

3D Parametric Modelling

Our parametric design capabilities allow for swift, efficient design changes, with an automatic design history update that accommodates manufacturing needs.

 

Generative Design

Leverage AI to generate various design solutions based on set parameters, choosing the one that’s most cost-effective and easy to manufacture.

 

Unified PCB design

Quickly design circuits, visualise your electronic product’s 3D model aspects, and test how the PCB fits within the design assembly (US Site) with ECAD and MCAD integration.

 

Data Management

Track different versions and manage all design data in one place. Maintaining design integrity and avoiding confusion during manufacturing.

 

Sustainability and DFMA

Optimise material utilisation and simplify the design of a products to improve ease of manufacturing and efficiency of assembly.

 

Driving sustainable outcomes in design and manufacturing

Is your organisation considering a move towards more sustainable outcomes? Or perhaps you want to persuade them to do so? This e-book explores various aspects of such an undertaking and examines a wide range of approaches.
