What is sheet-based fabrication software?

Fabricators and engineers need access to CAD/CAM software that supports their entire part design and manufacturing process.

From 2D to multi-axis, Autodesk Fusion provides professional-grade tools that can automate processes, optimize throughput, and enable cross-team or department collaboration for all fabrication needs.

Benefits of using Autodesk Fusion for fabrication

Saves time

Associative CAD/CAM tools automate the flow from 3D design to 2D nests and can automatically update when your designs change.

Replaces manual tasks

Intelligent nesting algorithms can replace the need for complex manual calculations and mislabelled parts, helping to save time and avoid mistakes.

Reduces waste

Multi-sheet nesting can process different materials, thicknesses, and part quantities to maximize yield and minimise waste.

Connects your team

Cloud-enabled collaboration tools help your design and production teams to work together seamlessly to avoid delays.

Achieve your fabrication goals

Achieve your fabrication goals Replace manual processing

Automated tools take the pressure off your fabrication engineers removing the reliance on manual processes that can cause errors, increase costs, and waste resources.

Reduce design to production time

Powerful automated workflows convert your 3D models into efficient 2D nested solutions, helping you to start part production sooner.

Increase yield by reducing scrap

Fusion calculates the most efficient way to nest multiple components into sheet stock to minimize waste whilst also saving remnant stock for later use.

Improve machine utilization

Offline CAM programming creates G-code files in parallel with production, avoiding the backlogs caused by traditional, controller-based programming.

Improve production consistency

Cloud-enabled templates allow your engineering teams to build shareable standards that allow production to achieve repeatably high levels of quality.

Reduce environmental impact

Create highly efficient production cycles that reduce the consumption of time, materials, and other precious resources.
