Fusion with PowerShape
Fusion with PowerShape combines surface, solid, and mesh modeling for preparing molds, dies, and other complex parts for manufacture.
What Fusion with PowerShape is
Fusion with PowerShape combines surface, solid, and mesh modeling for preparing molds, dies, and other complex parts for manufacture. The Windows product supports core and cavity splitting, electrode design and manufacture, and automated rib capping for EDM. It can inspect imported CAD models for faults that could complicate downstream work, and create CAM-specific geometry for use with PowerMill; Autodesk also describes it as a modeling companion for PowerMill or FeatureCAM. Mechanical and thermal simulation tools are included to verify 3D designs. PowerShape now includes Fusion and Fusion Team, and supports assembly design, surface modeling, and cloud collaboration. It runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Import and export support covers formats such as DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, STL, and others. Autodesk identifies manufacturers, manufacturing engineers, and CNC machine operators preparing designs for mass production as typical users. Pricing is on request, and a free 30-day trial is offered; there is no free plan.
