Manufacturing Extension

Unlock advanced manufacturing capabilities for 3- to 5-axis CNC machining, nesting and fabrication, and metal-based additive manufacturing.

You can purchase access to the Fusion Manufacturing Extension using tokens or a credit card. To understand the cost in tokens for Fusion extensions, refer to the Flex Rate Sheet. Learn more about the Fusion Manufacturing Extension on the Autodesk website.

Note: The capabilities previously offered by the Machining Extension, Additive Build Extension, and Nesting & Fabrication Extension are now available as part of the Fusion Manufacturing Extension.

What's included?

steep and shallow Automated whole-part machining
Simplify the CAM programming of complex, feature-rich parts with a range of intelligent toolpaths that can improve consistency.
5-axis machining with machine tilted 4-axis and 5-axis simultaneous machining
Make better use of multi-axis machinery with additional toolpaths, tool-axis controls, and automatic collision avoidance options.
toolpath modifications Toolpath modifications
Make edits to a toolpath without wasteful recalculation.
surface inspection Part inspection and setup
Use inspection strategies and spindle-mounted probes to automate setup and measure components throughout the machining process.
additive Additive manufacturing
Create setups for additive machines, access support structures, and output builds to machine-specific files. Simulate to predict print issues and generate multi-axis additive toolpaths for directed energy deposition (DED).
nesting Nesting and fabrication
Create efficient multi-sheet layouts for both sheet metal and non-sheet metal parts, enabling precise arrangement and preparation for cutting on CNC machines.
Note: This extension is available only in Fusion Student, Fusion Startup, and Fusion Subscription.
