The next innovation was consumption-based services. Engineering tools are available by anyone, anytime, and anywhere for a fraction of the cost of the old model – acquiring expensive perpetual software licenses locked to a workstation. The first innovation was offering engineering software as a service, a software licensing model where Fusion 360 is delivered on a subscription basis, the application data is centrally hosted, and elements of the application are services accessible via the cloud. These innovations are changing the CAD industry as we know it, providing capabilities to every designer or engineer that were previously unattainable because of cost or implementation challenges. It is truly design re-imagined – new tools, system architecture, and workflows developed from the ground up to take advantage of the transformative power of the cloud, device independence to leverage the preferred computing devices in use today, and access to CAD data, anytime, anywhere, any device.Īutodesk Fusion 360 is pioneering new methods for access to engineering and manufacturing tools that are unlocking the availability of high-end tools and capabilities that have been the domain of the very few. Fusion 360 is at the forefront of this industry shift. The blend of on-device and cloud services Fusion 360 provides is the best of both worlds. More importantly, cloud computing provides an opportunity to offer capabilities as a service that can be accessed when required.Ĭloud computing is also changing how engineering and manufacturing data is created, accessed and shared, driving this next wave of engineering tools democratization. With cloud applications, your data is in one place, not scattered across multiple computer hard drives or data servers, is accessible from any device, and is always available. Today, mobile computing devices such as smart phones and tablets are the devices of choice for finding and sharing information. The internet and cloud architecture have given rise to new computing devices and on-line productivity applications. Cloud architecture changes everything and is driving dramatic shifts in software licensing, technology deployment, and data accessibility.
