Autodesk Netfabb Joins Fusion 360 Family, Better Uniting Additive Manufacturing and Design
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about how we’re enhancing the Netfabb community this year. Starting now, Netfabb users will enjoy even greater design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities by integrating Netfabb tools directly into the Autodesk Fusion 360 suite. Existing Netfabb subscribers will retain access to their familiar Netfabb products while gaining access to the comprehensive features of Fusion 360. These new tools will support advanced modeling, manufacturing, documentation, and much more—all at no extra cost. For many Netfabb subscribers, this means you’ll automatically receive Fusion 360’s Additive Build Extension and upcoming Additive Simulation Extension without any additional charges. Additionally, you’ll unlock access to Fusion 360 Team and HSMWorks.
This move builds on our previous announcement about the unified Fusion 360 with PowerMill offerings, which we shared back in August. The result? Netfabb subscribers get a wider array of functionalities for the same subscription price they’re already paying. Every Netfabb user will now have Fusion 360 included with their subscription. Premium and Ultimate subscribers will also receive the Additive Build Extension, perfect for setting up jobs tailored for metal additive manufacturing. And Ultimate subscribers can look forward to receiving the upcoming Additive Simulation Extension as soon as it’s commercially available.
This shift underscores our ongoing commitment to ensuring our customers stay ahead in their design and manufacturing processes. Our aim is to empower Netfabb users to explore innovative methods and achieve that vital competitive edge.
The Extensions for Fusion 360 bring fresh, powerful capabilities to design and manufacturing professionals. For instance, we introduced metal powder bed fusion functionality through the Additive Build Extension, which launched in October, along with intelligent orientation and support structure generation. We’re equally excited to soon roll out the Additive Simulation Extension, allowing users to simulate print outcomes and preemptively address potential issues before starting a print job.

At Autodesk, fostering collaboration among designers, engineers, and fabricators has always been central to our mission. We’re continuously refining connected workflows, automating processes, and streamlining interactions with supply chains. Fusion 360 serves as a single, cohesive platform for design and manufacturing, utilizing a unified data model to eliminate file conversion delays, preserve detail across platforms, and reduce the need for rework. Our focus remains on smoothing out challenges so users can easily realize their creative visions. Fusion 360 makes it straightforward to experiment with new tools like our Generative Design Extension for design automation.
