Autodesk Fusion Reviews & Product Details

I love the easy transitioning between CAD and CAM. I use the CAM a lot and will often need to make quick modifications to the model and switching between them has never been easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the CAD workflow not as intuitive as I like. I have been using Solidworks as my main CAD program for a long time and so I am biased, but I find there may be too many steps, in some cases, to execute certain actions in the CAD workflow of fusion. Albeit, still a great CAD compared to many others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Autodesk Fusion for my mechanical engineering projects, and I like its easy user interface, which makes it convenient to model assemblies. I appreciate that it updates versions automatically. It's great that I can access it from any computer and operating system. I also value the integration of modeling, sketch, CAM, and generative design into one platform, as it consolidates the tools I need. With Fusion, I don't need to buy separate CAD and CAM software, which is a big plus. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, with just a small download needed.

I find the library in Autodesk Fusion lacking. Also, working with large assemblies can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Autodesk Fusion is very easy to use, especially for an automation engineer. It's comparable to SolidWorks, allowing easy addition of camshaft parameters and other measurements. I find it straightforward to put measurements for 3D modeling and writing, or to change materials. It works fine even with a four-core CPU, which is something I think is missing in other software. I also appreciate how Autodesk Fusion is a complete package containing everything needed, including technical, documentation, and 3D CAD. It's really amazing and more structured than Salesforce.

I think there's a lot of updates on time, but I understand it's a kind of big software. But I think it will be better to get maybe one complete upgrade at the end of maybe the year or maybe every four months than get all the time you upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fusion 360 allows us to design and manufacture almost anything we can imagine. Its ease of use makes complex design tasks feel simple and fast, which lets us go from idea to finished model in very little time. The workflow is intuitive, powerful, and well suited for both creative and technical projects, making it an essential tool in our daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, the software can become unstable when working with very complex models or a high number of triangles. In most cases, this is related to hardware limitations rather than the software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Autodesk Fusion's parametric modeling, where I can update one dimension and the entire model changes, saving me from starting from scratch and hours of work. It's very convenient having both design and print prep in one place. The free personal tier was also really helpful as it gave me the chance to properly learn the tool before committing financially to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autodesk has been trimming down the free tier, which is pretty sad because less people will have the chance to learn with real world tools as I did. I also think it kind of has an excessive cloud dependency. If I want to work offline, I'm stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love intuitive parametric modeling and sketches, sufficiently complete for personal projects. Cloud storage and version history make it easy to go back, even if collaboration is limited in the free version. Basic manufacturing functions (2D/2.5 axes) and STL export cover the essentials for 3D printing and a hobby CNC with common post-processors. The ecosystem and community offer a lot of resources, and the essential tools (assemblies, simple 2D plans) are enough to go from idea to prototype without costs.

The free version significantly limits advanced features (4/5 axis CAM, simulation, generative design, extended collaboration), which hinders complex or professional-oriented projects. The reliance on the cloud and usage constraints (non-commercial, more restricted drawings and version management, limited export formats) can also be penalizing depending on your needs.

The collaboration functionality and optional plugins makes this the perfect tool for colaborating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the updates contain large changes to the layout of the program but after some practice this gets easy to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the intuitiveness of Autodesk Fusion, which makes it easy to perform tasks without the need for a course. I believe the software is extremely intuitive and solves the problem of having to learn more complex programs for 3D printing. I love the endless possibilities of putting my ideas into practice and customizing any piece I can imagine. Additionally, the initial setup was simple and everything was already intuitive. I also like the ease of using different file formats to export my projects to other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe there is room for innovation regarding ease of use, even though it is already a strong point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. All-in-one platform is its biggest strength. It combines CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB design in a single cloud-based environment, which makes it incredibly convenient for product

2. Plus, having built-in PCB design and 3D modeling in one place is a massive time-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The app for macos which I use I find that it is really buggy I have had multiple hanging and software bugs

2. Unlike tools like onshape you can't easily changes the value of the extrusion (can edit it afterwards) for example from 5mm to 10mm

3. Really like the Web Version but... The problem arises as something online view bugs out + no matter how many times you refresh the page it stay the same (so you need to wait i thing 4 hours to be assign a new remote access to a different serve)

4. Glitchs causing the web version of the app to be smaller in size to the browser screen

5. Real time editing is non existent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is really good, and the price is very competitive compared with other CAD tools like Fusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like that the project is stored in the cloud; I prefer to keep the project locally. Also, performance could be better when opening the .exe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
