“With Fusion 360, there is no longer a compromise between industrial and mechanical design. “We’re in the midst of a new industrial revolution that places a premium on the ability to design and engineer products that are both beautiful and functional,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, senior vice president at Autodesk. Autodesk Fusion 360 brings together capabilities typically found in separate mechanical, industrial and conceptual design tools into one, easy to use cloud-based service. today delivered the world’s first cloud-based software created specifically for people looking to fuse stunning aesthetic design with great product engineering. The Next Generation of Design and Engineering Software Has Arrived EngineerVsDesigner Autodesk+GrabCAD SpecialĪlso, keep an eye out later today for a special episode of EngineerVsDesigner where we’ll talk with Prabakar Murugappan, Director of Mechanical Design Products at Autodesk and Hardi Meybaum, CEO of GrabCAD about the Fusion 360 launchand what it all means for today’s designers and engineers. Give it a spin and let us know what you think in the comments. Try it Free for 90 DaysĪs of today, you can try Fusion 360 for free for 90 days.

However today’s announcement from Autodesk doesn’t end with Fusion 360’s modeling and team collaboration features: a new partnership with GrabCAD will allow users to publish directly from Fusion 360 to GrabCAD seamlessly…effectively tying the existing GrabCAD community into the Fusion 360 base and vice-versa, which ultimately means even more assets to help speed up your modeling process. With access tied to a login (be it a PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone, etc), it’s possible for all members of a project both inside and out of the industrial/mechanical design department to have access to the project throughout its development….even in real-time over coffee at Starbucks on a phone. Where Fusion 360 really shines though is in it’s ability to be used anywhere, by anyone.
