Benefits of Autodesk Fusion for industrial design

Expand innovation

Quickly explore your ideas to uncover the best concepts earlier in the design process with a comprehensive set of flexible 3D modelling tools.

Make better products

Rapidly prototype to help identify and address design issues early on. Perform various simulation analyses to test your product’s performance.

Improve efficiency

Collaborate in real time and take full advantage of tools such as parametric modelling, simulation and automated workflows to streamline the design process.

Increase profitability

Reduce re-work, production costs, material waste and manufacturing errors with design for manufacturing tools.

Industrial 3D design software tools for designers

Surface modelling

Design your way with a comprehensive set of 3D design tools including intuitive parametric, freeform, direct and surface modelling.

 

Rendering and visualisation

Create high-quality, photo-realistic images of your designs to visualise the final product. Apply realistic material appearances, including textures, finishes and colours using the comprehensive materials library.

 

Simulation

Validate and optimise your designs for various real-world scenarios. Identify potential issues, improve performance and reduce material waste before moving to the manufacturing stage.

 

Generative design

Explore multiple manufacturing-ready outcomes that meet your design specifications while reducing weight, improving performance and consolidating parts through generative design.

 

Integrated CAD/CAM

Consider machining, tooling and material constraints while creating 3D models, and help make sure that designs are practical and cost-effective to produce. Eliminate the need to switch between different software applications, reducing potential errors and saving time.

 

Collaboration

Remove the silos from your traditional design process and use a modern collaboration environment. Connect your teams and clients, communicate in real time and centralise project activity.
