Fusion 360 is a start-to-finish product design and development tool. Fusion's core product offerings include CAD/CAM/CAE and PCB design capabilities. With fusion, you can conceptualize a product, develop it, test and validate the design, including the fabrication of the design. The beauty of fusion 360 lies in the ability of different stakeholders;from clients, sponsors, design teams, marketing teams etc. to collaborate on a project seamlessly. It would interest you to know that fusion is very cheap and flexible. You can subscribe for a selected feature or functionality, instead of paying for an entire package, which you probably may not need e.g., design extension, and use them to deliver jobs, according to clients requirements.
