Fusion 360® Prototyping & Fabrication

Design and make anything

Connect all the stages of your workflow, from prototyping to fabrication, and enable your team to execute ideas with confidence from start to finish.

Prototyping & Fabrication

Summary

Benefits

Features

Application

Prototype & fabricate quickly without sacrificing quality.

Whether you’re a team of one, or, one person in a team of many, prototyping and fabricating ideas require speed, agility, and exploration. They’re certainly not linear processes, but seamless collaboration from the start sets the stage for a successful product development process. Investigate as many design options as possible, easily ship ideas to fabricators, and keep lines of communication strong internally and externally with the robust capabilities of Fusion 360.

Design to manufacture (video: 1:23 min.)

Where output makes the most impact

Increase development agility

Increase manufacturing throughput with automation, collaboration, and software interoperability to reduce non-value add processes from design inception through production.

Enrich collaboration

Connect your design & engineering team with internal or external fabricators to ensure production goals are met and minimize design versioning confusion.

Improve product quality

Iterate, simulate, and prototype easily with automated, connected workflows to improve product quality and reliability in the early stages of product development.

Stimulate innovation

A faster, digital prototyping process makes space for more ideas, giving you more chances to get your end product just right.

Improve time to market

Optimize your prototyping and fabrication processes to increase productivity while reducing material costs, engineering costs, and fixed overhead costs.

Reduce part defects

Leverage digital prototyping, simulation, data management, and quality management tools to lessen chances of costly defects.

Everything you need to drive your prototyping and fabrication with ease

Simplified collaboration

Seamlessly collaborate with contractors or clients directly in an assembly using Assembly Concurrency. Web browser access enables easy job site access for those who need to reference the 3D models on the fly.

Enhanced design iteration

Explore new design opportunities fast using Automated Modeling, or, take it a step further with Generative Design to incorporate considerations such as manufacturing methods or costs.

Simulate part performance

Predict the impact design changes have on product performance and manufacturability with finite element analysis (FEA) and injection molding simulation.

Post-processing insights

Identify design improvements before manufacturing based on in-canvas rendering, design for manufacturability with Injection Molding simulation, and more.

Intuitive drawing creation

Publish your product’s manufacturing and fabrication plans with detailed model and assembly drawings to efficiently add clarity to stakeholders.

Sheet metal fabrication

Prepare for fabrication with sheet metal part sketching and modeling, bending and relief rules, seam gaps, weld callouts, and integral nesting capabilities.

Integrated ECAD and MCAD

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

Additive and CAM

Generate toolpaths for 2 & 3-axis, 3+2, 4 & 5-axis milling and more with support for additive, subtractive, and hybrid manufacturing. Predict potential failures before running the machine.
