Everything in base Fusion — plus advanced simulation, generative design, enterprise data management, and the tools to design products the way they'll actually be manufactured.
Enterprise-grade accuracy without the enterprise complexity
Most engineering teams are running a patchwork of tools — one for CAD, another for simulation, something separate for PLM, and a shared drive that nobody fully trusts. Fusion for Design replaces that stack with a single, integrated platform that covers the entire design lifecycle. Faster decision-making, no version conflicts, and a lower total cost than maintaining separate tools.
- Faster decision-making with real-time collaboration and cloud data — no more emailing files back and forth
- No version conflicts, broken references, or file-sync issues — everyone works from the same model, always
- Lower total cost of ownership versus maintaining separate CAD, simulation, and PLM tools
- Design for manufacturability from day one — catch issues before tooling is cut, not after
Key Capabilities
Everything in Fusion, plus the tools serious engineering teams need
Fusion for Design builds on the full base Fusion platform — 3D CAD, CAM, PCB design, AI drawing automation, and real-time collaboration — and adds a powerful set of advanced capabilities.
11 Advanced Simulation Studies
Validate structural, thermal, dynamic, and manufacturing performance early — before you invest in physical prototypes.
Generative Design (AI)
Leverage AI to explore lightweight, high-performance design alternatives that meet your engineering constraints and manufacturing requirements.
Advanced Surfacing & Mesh Tools
Handle complex geometry for products that demand both precision and visual quality — no compromises.
Plastic, Sheet Metal & DFM Tools
Purpose-built tools for designing parts the way they'll actually be manufactured — reducing costly design changes late in the process.
Integrated PLM & Supply Chain
Move beyond shared drives with enterprise-grade revision control, change management, and supply chain connectivity.
Advanced Cloud Data Management
Centralize your data with access controls, audit trails, and real-time visibility into project status across your entire team.
Unlimited Cloud Solves
Run as many simulation and generative design iterations as your project demands — no per-solve token fees eating into your budget.
Side-by-Side Design Comparisons
Evaluate multiple design options against real-world performance criteria to make faster, more confident decisions.
