Generative design overview video (1.19 min.)
Accelerate your product development process
The generative design process explores manufacturing-ready outcomes earlier in your production process, optimised for cost, material and different manufacturing techniques, so you can get to market faster.
Manufacturing-ready solutions with generative design
Generative design in Fusion 360 gives you the ability to select multiple manufacturing methods to quickly explore numerous solutions for your design and engineering challenges.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Improve design freedom and bring your innovations to the front. Build better quality products in less time while reducing material waste.
CNC MACHINING
Take advantage of your shop-floor production capabilities by improving consistency across your 2.5-axis, 3-axis or 5-axis machines.
CASTING
Enable complex shapes, intricate sections and greater mechanical properties while combining additive, subtractive and generative design for reduced production costs.
INJECTION MOULDING
Optimise the effectiveness of your high-volume injection moulding with generative design, achieving a higher production rate with reduced cycle times.

Benefits of generative design for manufacturing
Helping manufacturers do more, better and with less.
Light weighting
Quickly identify solutions to minimise mass and material use while maintaining performance standards, meeting design goals and respecting engineering constraints.
Performance impact
Evaluate multiple manufacturing methods using generative design and discover solutions to improve and optimise product durability and eliminate areas of weakness.
Parts consolidation
Explore a range of design solutions that allow you to consolidate multiple components into solid parts, reducing assembly costs and simplifying your supply chain.
Sustainability
Meet your sustainability goals by using generative design to lightweight your products, creating less production waste and helping you to select more sustainable materials.
