Stop paying for disconnected tools that don't talk to each other. Fusion for Manufacturing unifies advanced CNC machining, fabrication, and CAD in one environment — so your entire shop operates from a single source of truth.
Overview
One environment. Design, program, and machine — without the handoff friction.
If your team is manually transferring data between CAD and CAM software, you're spending time and money on overhead that shouldn't exist. Every file export is a chance for something to break. Every manual step is a chance for rework. Fusion for Manufacturing eliminates that friction — bringing your entire shop workflow into a single connected environment.
- No lost features, broken models, or rework when moving from design to machining — changes propagate automatically
- Stop paying for multiple expensive licenses to achieve a single workflow
- Cloud collaboration means your programmers, operators, and designers always work from the same data
- Free, fully editable post-processors for your specific machines — no vendor dependency
Key Capabilities
Everything in Fusion, plus production-grade manufacturing tools
Fusion for Manufacturing builds on the complete base Fusion platform and adds a comprehensive set of advanced CNC, fabrication, and automation capabilities purpose-built for professional shops.
2-Axis to Full 5-Axis CNC Machining
Handle everything from simple 2D contouring to complex simultaneous 5-axis toolpaths for production-grade accuracy.
Intelligent Toolpathing
Automated strategies for milling, turning, and turn-mill operations reduce setup time and dramatically improve surface quality.
Automated CAM Programming
Whole-part strategies like steep & shallow, deburr, hole recognition, and rotary reduce programming time significantly — no manual strategy selection for every feature.
In-Process Inspection & Probing
Spindle-mounted touch probes let you measure stock, update work offsets, monitor quality, and automate part setup — all without removing the part from the machine.
Machine Collision Detection
Simulate machine motion and detect collisions before they happen — protecting your equipment, your tooling, and your parts.
Sheet Fabrication & Metals Additive
Purpose-built workflows for sheet metal fabrication and additive manufacturing with metals — the same platform covers the full range of your shop's capabilities.
Free Editable Post-Processors
Customize post-processors for your specific machines at no additional cost. No vendor lock-in, no expensive customization fees.
Integrated CAD + CAM
Design changes propagate automatically into your CAM setup. Eliminate rework, eliminate data translation errors, eliminate the back-and-forth.
