While it removes some of the immediate look up and project tools, it does make the workflow easier if you just want to get designing and making parts.

Perhaps the biggest change is how the user interacts with projects - much of this has been removed from the Fusion interface and moved to the A360 collaboration platform. The user interface hasn’t changed a great deal. Our goal here is to catch you up, so you have a good appreciation of what’s going on. What’s interesting is that the team is sharing its roadmap publicly, so you can dive in and see what’s coming in the next few months.

To recap, those included the introduction of history tracking, 2D drawings based on your 3D models, 2.5 and 3 axis CAM and a whole lot more work done on both the workflow of existing tools as well as project management and collaboration. In the last review, we looked at some of the key updates that Autodesk had made to Fusion in the months preceding. Not least, centralised and accessible data enables sharing of that data with those that need it and more in depth project collaboration where you may have multiple parties working on the same project.

The concept is that while you have a locally streamed application (that keeps you up to date), your data primarily resides in the cloud - and that enables some interesting things to be done. It brings together direct editing, parametric and history modelling, 2D drawings and much more. Unless you’ve been under a blanket all winter (or, more likely, buried with work), you’ll know that Autodesk has been pushing the messaging around its Fusion 360 product pretty hard.įusion is Autodesk’s cloud-based design, engineering and manufacturing offering that relies on a cloudbased infrastructure combined with more localised computation where neccessary. Fusion’s latest updates have brought photorealistic rendering including Depth of Field and animation support
