    • Autodesk Fusion is a platform that combines CAD, CAM, and CAE into one, allowing for design, modeling, and simulation in a single cloud-based environment.
    • Reviewers like the intuitive interface, the ability to work on projects remotely due to its cloud collaboration features, and the convenience of having all necessary tools in one place, including the ability to prototype and generate toolpaths without switching software.
    • Reviewers experienced lag during larger assemblies or high-resolution simulations, especially on mid-range systems, and found the offline performance limited, making it difficult to work without internet access at times, and some advanced features are locked behind additional subscriptions, which can be limiting for freelancers or small teams.
