Application

CNC machining with Fusion 360

Fusion 360 is the starting point to build your Fusion platform. Fusion 360 provides all the essential tools you need for 2D, 3+2, CAM, and 3D printing, as well as cloud collaboration tools. For more advanced CNC machining, Fusion 360 subscribers can upgrade to include the Fusion 360 Machining Extension. This extension unlocks additional, advanced capabilities to make better use of 3-axis and multi-axis CNC machinery, including automated programming, multi-axis milling, and more.

Benefits of using Fusion 360 for CNC machining

Automated workflows and a modern user experience shorten learning curves, helping your team to become productive and profitable sooner.

Connect your teams

Put your design and manufacturing data at the center of everything you do, enabling your team to make business critical decisions faster.

Professional grade capabilities

Built on over 40 years of innovation, Fusion 360 provides advanced CAM programming tools that can help your business succeed and grow.

Everything you need to drive your CNC machining in a single connected platform

Connected design & manufacture

Integrated CAD/CAM automatically cascades design revisions through to production, shortening delivery times, and avoiding costly mistakes. (video: 1:28 min.)

Automated CAM programming

Speed up 2D, 2.5D, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CAM programming with automation and user-defined templates built around your best practices.

Achieve your CNC machining goals

Increase manufacturing throughput

Quickly convert your best practices into templates that can be shared across your team helping you make better use of your people, tooling, and machines.

Improve quality and reliability

Automate common CAM processes and workflows to remove manual non-value add tasks that are expensive and poorly controlled.

Reduce defects and non-conformities

Create the high-quality, collision-free NC machining code you need to produce parts to tolerance and protect your investment in CNC machinery.

Shorten project delivery times

Seamlessly connect your CAM programming and shop-floor teams to the data they need to make business-critical decisions faster.

Increase market share

Embrace innovative technologies that can help expand your manufacturing business and offer a higher-value service to your customers.

Reduce environmental impact

Optimize machining processes to remove waste by reducing the consumption of time, materials, and other precious resources.
