Yes, I’m biased but I truly believe we have the best offer. An hybrid, cloud/desktop, solution for your design, manufacturing and collaboration needs.

If you’re a Fusion 360 user, I’m sure you — at least once — shared a design with someone. How simple and efficient was that experience?
I’m sure the person you collaborate with was very pleased with that amazing piece of technology.

Guess what, we made collaboration even more interesting.

Fusion 360 in your browser

Most of the collaboration is done through Fusion Team (a.k.a Fusion 360).
You can share a single design or invite someone to participate in the project.

In the design overview, it was simple to click on a button and launch Fusion 360.
Guess what…

You can now modify your design in your browser!

It’s important to note that this is a preview. You can create sketches and basic features but you won’t be able to edit the features in the timeline.
If you ask me, it should stay like that. Keep in mind that
it’s very rapid and simple to install Fusion 360, if you need to modify something in depth, just download it!

Don’t be fooled when others are telling you that with “their” software you can 3D design on your phone. Honestly? When was the last time you were really productive on your phone?

Collaborating with Fusion Team is meant to be simple. As I like to put it, it passed the “Dad Test” (if my Dad can you use it, anybody can! Love you Dad!)
We also simplified the ability to modify/design from your browser.
Again, you need to get in depth, just download the hole thing.

Here’s a great post from my buddy Bryce Heventhal:

My colleague Brian Repp wrote a nice Getting Started piece:
