Autodesk Announces Fusion 360

Autodesk announced its cloud-based software created specifically for people looking to fuse aesthetic design with product engineering. Autodesk Fusion 360 combines capabilities typically found in separate mechanical, industrial and conceptual design tools into one cloud-based service.

"We're in the midst of a new industrial revolution that places a premium on the ability to design and engineer products that are both beautiful and functional," said Robert Kross, senior vice president at Autodesk. "With Fusion 360, there is no longer a compromise between industrial and mechanical design. Users get both in one tool for the first time."

The product offers an intuitive user experience, secure access to design information and integrated social collaboration features. The solution is free for 90 days, and will be available from the Autodesk e-Store for $25 per month, per user.
