Introduction Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-connected 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB platform that has become an industry standard for product design, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing. Unlike traditional software with annual releases, Fusion 360 follows a continuous delivery model —updates are pushed automatically every 4–6 weeks. This means there is no single "latest version number" in the classic sense; instead, Autodesk identifies releases by their month and year (e.g., “June 2026 Update”).
Note: Fusion 360 no longer supports macOS 10.15 (Catalina) as of Jan 2026. | Feature | Personal (Free) | Startup/Educational | Standard | Premium | |---------|----------------|----------------------|----------|---------| | Active documents | 10 | 25 | Unlimited | Unlimited | | 2.5-axis CAM | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | 3-axis CAM | No | No | Yes | Yes | | 5-axis / Probing | No | No | No | Yes | | Generative Design | Limited (credits) | Full (academic) | No | Yes | | Simulation (non-linear) | No | Limited | Static only | Full | | PCB design | 2 layers | 4 layers | Unlimited | Unlimited | latest fusion 360 version
