What it is
Autodesk Fusion is a CAD and design application available on Windows, macOS, and the web. Listed capabilities include parametric modeling, sculpting, animation, rendering, and 3D-print export. The paid Autodesk Fusion plan combines integrated CAD/CAM, real-time team collaboration, PCB design and electromechanical integration, and drawing automation with design configuration. That plan costs $57 per user per month, billed annually, and a 30-day trial is listed. A free plan is also available. Fusion for personal use is intended for hobbyist users and non-commercial projects but has limited functionality; no price is listed. Fusion for educational use lists full features and functionality for qualifying students and educators, also without a listed price. Autodesk was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Platform access is listed as both, and the render engine is also listed as both. The available plans separate paid professional use, limited personal projects, and qualifying educational access.
