Autodesk Fusion for education
Bring next-generation workflows into your courses with an intuitive, modern 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform that’s easy to learn and teach.
Free for education. Available on PC, Mac, and Chromebook.
What is Autodesk Fusion?
- Review and manage student assignments. Autodesk Fusion datasets can be shared with a web link and then viewed on any device. You can easily add markup, slice the model, add notations, and provide other feedback.
- Student teams collaboration. Fusion’s collaboration features make easier for students to work on the same project – when a new version of a dataset is uploaded, it is immediately available to everyone collaborating on the project.
- Get to machining faster. Get students to produce high-quality CNC machined parts, and additively manufacture builds with a wide range of integrated CNC and 3D printers ready to simulate, test and prototype designs.
Autodesk Fusion is free for eligible educators and students. Available on Mac, PC, and Chromebook.

What educators say about using Autodesk Fusion:
“If there’s aspects which I feel that could be redeveloped or tweaked, I can communicate with the students… that’s one of the things I really I appreciate with Fusion, is that ability to encourage collaboration and sharing of design practice.”
– Andrew Hewitt, Aston University Engineering Academy
«With Autodesk Fusion students were spending less time at the desks and more time on the machines.»
– Jacob T. Tucker, CTE Instructor at Pasadena City College
«One of the things that I really enjoy about Autodesk Fusion is that it is a very short on-ramp, and we really get to move through a lot of physical projects quickly .»
– Cady Geer, CTE instructor at Sunset High School
