Key features

The chart shows the extended capabilities of the Product Design Extension compared to the original Fusion 360 software.

		Fusion 360	Fusion 360 + Product Design Extension
3D Modeling	Parametric Modeling Allows you to create history-based features, including extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, etc., that are driven by dimensions and constraints.	✓	✓
	Surface Modeling Allows you to create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing or designing geometry.	✓	✓
	Freeform Modeling Allows you to create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and edit them with intuitive push-pull gestures.	✓	✓
	Direct Modeling Allows you to edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats. You can make design changes without worrying about time-based features.	✓	✓
	Mesh Modeling Allows you to edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files.	✓	✓
	Sheet Metal Allows you to design sheet metal components, document flat patterns, and manufacture your design with cutting strategies for water jet, laser and plasma machines	✓	✓
	3D Patterning Allows you to create duplicate faces, features, bodies, or components and arrange them as a rectangular or circular array, or along a specified path.	✓	✓
	Geometric Pattern Allows you to apply highly customizable geometric patterns with user-defined or predefined objects.	–	✓
	Boss Feature Allows you to create a boss connecting two parts to each other using manufacturing aware tools that are available in Product Design Extension only.	–	✓
	Web Feature Allows you to automate web and rib features from open sketches using manufacturing aware tools that are available in the Product Design Extension only.	–	✓
	Snap Fit Allows you to create multiple parametric snap fit features to fasten bodies or components together.	–	✓
Manufacturing Aware Tools	Plastic Product Design Tools Allows you to define plastic features at the model level or at the assembly level for an optimal approach in maintaining the fit, performance, and aesthetics of your design.	–	✓
	Plastic Product Design Rules Allows you to choose from a list of materials that drive the fundamental parameters of your plastic part design, enabling you to focus more time on your design ideas.	–	✓
	Design Advice Allows you to receive guidance and awareness based on industry best practices and company standards to improve the manufacturability and performance of your design.	–	✓

Autodesk Fusion 360 Product Design Extension

Capabilities

Below are the main features the Product Design Extension adds to your Fusion 360 software capabilities:

Plastic Rules

The Assign Plastic Rule command assigns plastic rules to components to automatically control such properties of plastic features, as physical material and thickness. You can either create new rules or edit existing ones, as well as save rules to a library to use them in multiple designs.

Plastic Design Tools

Use the new Boss and Snap Fit tools to create plastic features.The Boss tool lets you configure your parts and store them as a default. Use the Boss command to create a boss feature to fasten two solid bodies together and reinforce thin areas of a design. The Snap Fit feature lets you define a set of standard snap fits and use them when needed.

Presets

Presets let you quickly reuse common values in certain commands in Fusion 360. You can create setting presets in the following commands: Extrude, Rib, Web, Boss, Snap Fit, Emboss, Thicken, Shell, and Draft.

Geometric Pattern

Allows for the creation of complex patterns with adjustable size and distribution gradients across a selected face.

Organic Mesh Conversion

Use the Convert Mesh command to convert organically shaped meshes to solid, surface, or T-Spline bodies.

Volumetric Lattice

You can modify existing solid or closed mesh parts to create complex volumetric lattices that alter the shape and appearance of a design.

Design Advice

This feature identifies manufacturability concerns based on best practices for plastic injection molding and company standards. It provides recommendations on how to improve the manufacturability and performance of your design.

Applications

The Fusion 360 Product Design Extension expands the design capabilities of the Fusion 360 software and provides product designers with additional tools allowing them to create production-ready high-performance models as fast as it has never been possible.
