Thinking Big with Autodesk Fusion 360: An End-to-End Tool for Heavyweight Assemblies

Autodesk Fusion 360 software is arguably one of the most feature-rich and affordable CAD tools on the market. But some people still think that there surely must be a catch or a compromise. Well, we’re here to show that Autodesk Fusion 360 is an innovative CAD tool and can easily do what traditional CAD tools can do, plus a whole lot more! Using a real-world example of a complex, component-heavy design for a physically huge 3D printer built simultaneously at the University of Warwick and Autodesk’s Birmingham Technology Centre, we’ll show how Autodesk Fusion 360 handled deeply nested subassemblies of electromechanical components designed with both top-down and bottom-up modeling strategies. We’ll show how Autodesk Fusion 360 effortlessly empowered the project team to streamline the whole of their design and development process, collaborating in real time and taking their designs from concept all the way through verification and documentation onto manufacturing through seamless integration with computer numerical control (CNC) systems.
