Benefits

Take a look at the benefits of machining with Fusion 360.

Get to machining faster

Quickly import designs with the largest set of CAD data translators for 50+ different file types. Edit existing features or model fixtures with a truly integrated CAD/CAM platform.

Generate toolpaths in minutes

Quickly create multiple design iterations. Fusion 360’s flexible software enables you to design effortlessly.

CAD/CAM at a fraction of the cost

Stretch your budget further by eliminating costly, disparate CAD/CAM tools with one integrated solution.

Features for Machinists

Learn about the key technologies for machinists included in Fusion 360.

2D & 2.5D machining

Set up jobs and create 2D and 2.5D toolpaths to drive CNC routers, mills, water jet cutters, laser cutters, and more. Integrated CAD simplifies design revisions, reduces programming times, and helps avoid mistakes.

3-axis machining

Create high-quality NC code using powerful 3-axis machining strategies. Rough and finish your 3D parts with intuitive workflows. Add the Fusion 360 Machining Extension and program individual features or entire parts.

Multi-axis positional machining

3+1 and 3+2 (positional) machining lets you machine parts with fewer setups. Use shorter, more rigid cutting tools to improve part accuracy and faster cycle times. Add more multi-axis capabilities with Fusion 360 Machining Extension.

5-axis simultaneous milling

Use specialized 4 and 5-axis toolpaths to achieve superior surface finish. Get more controls with the Fusion 360 Machining Extension. Automatic collision avoidance will help you achieve safe, smooth, and predictable machine motion.

Turning

Program 2D turned parts using a suite of dedicated turning strategies. Verify your turning toolpaths with stock simulation. Identify errors or collisions with the model, stock, tools, and workholding.

Turn-mill

Produce more complex parts by combining milling and turning operations. Generate NC code for multi-tasking hardware, capable of supporting both styles of machining.

Setup probing

Use spindle-mounted touch probes to monitor and control your CNC machining. Save more time by automating part setup with the Fusion 360 Machining Extension. Measure stock material, update work offsets, track quality, and more.

Fusion 360 Machining Extension

Access the Machining Extension to unlock added capabilities in Fusion 360. Automate 3+2 machining, 4- and 5-axis simultaneous machining operations. Simplify toolpath modifications, surface inspection, part alignment and more.
