Autodesk Fusion (formerly known as Fusion 360) provides professional-grade CAM tools to automate the programming of 2D, 2.5D, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machines. Because Fusion's CAM is associative to the CAD model, changes to the design automatically update the toolpath, saving time and reducing rework — making it one of the more efficient integrated solutions for CNC programming available today.
Built on more than 40 years of CAM innovation, Autodesk is a global software company offering integrated tools for design, engineering, and manufacturing. Autodesk Fusion brings together CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB, and product data management in a single cloud-based platform, enabling teams across the product development lifecycle to collaborate, reduce errors, and bring products to market faster.
