Key Features of Fusion 360

Comprehensive CAD Capabilities

• 3D Modeling: Fusion 360 provides robust 3D modeling tools, including parametric, direct, surface, mesh, and freeform modeling.
• Sculpting: Use T-Splines technology to create intricate organic shapes, enabling smooth and precise sculpting.
• Parametric Modeling: Design with a history timeline enables easy modifications and updates to designs based on defined parameters.

Simulation and Analysis

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Perform structural simulations to assess designs for strength and durability under various conditions.
• Thermal Analysis: Evaluate thermal performance and identify potential heat-related issues in designs through thermal analysis.
• Event Simulation: Assess different forces and loads to predict real-world product performance over time.

CAM Capabilities

• Toolpath Generation: Generate toolpaths for CNC machining, supporting operations from 2.5-axis to 5-axis.
• Integrated CAM: Streamline the transition from design to manufacturing with seamless CAM integration, reducing the need for separate software.

Collaboration Tools

• Cloud-Based Collaboration: Store and manage projects in the cloud to enable real-time collaboration and access from anywhere.
• Version Control: Keep a record of design iterations and easily revert to previous versions.
• Comments and Markups: Team members are encouraged to provide feedback directly on the design to facilitate clear communication.

Generative Design

• AI-Driven Design Options: Utilize generative design tools to explore multiple design alternatives based on specified constraints and goals.
• Optimized Designs: Creating lightweight and efficient designs often leads to material savings and improved performance.

Integrated Electronics Design

• PCB Design: Design and integrate printed circuit boards (PCBs) within the 3D model to enable seamless mechanical and electronic integration.
• Schematic Capture: Create electronic schematics that are directly linked to the PCB design to ensure consistent and error-free electronic design.

Data Management

• Centralized Data Storage: Utilize a centralized data management system to store all project files, ensuring uniformity and facilitating easy access.
• Team Management: Assign roles, manage permissions, and ensure secure access to project data for team members.
