Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Autodesk Fusion 360 with PowerShape is CAD modelling software designed to help manufacturers simplify the process of converting product designs into the moulds, tools and dies used to make them. PowerShape is an ideal modelling companion for CAM software, such as PowerMill or FeatureCAM (US Site) and helps create geometry to aid CAM programming.
PowerShape can work with native CAD data from mainstream design systems. Intelligent workflows help you import, analyse, repair and prepare complex parts for CNC machining.
Autodesk Fusion 360 with PowerShape is commonly used by manufacturers who receive a finished product design and need to convert it into manufacturable parts (often moulds, tools, dies and electrodes) used for mass production.
PowerShape is typically used by manufacturing engineers and CNC machine operators who generate NC machining code that will be used to produce these same parts with CNC machinery.
