At AU 2023, we made some exciting announcements around the Fusion industry cloud, where we’re at, where we’re headed, and some changes that are occurring. Read on to learn more.
The Fusion industry cloud for manufacturing will connect capabilities, data, people, and processes across the entire product development lifecycle. CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB, data management (PLM, PDM), MES, and more will be integrated into one unified experience, enabling advanced automation, AI capabilities, and streamlining of workflows.
The Fusion industry cloud will provide a single source of project data across your organization and supply chain through the Autodesk data model. By ensuring everyone has access to the same data, you can eliminate repetitive tasks and processes, accelerate productivity, and supply critical real-time insights about product development and business operations.

We’re excited to share news around capabilities that increase Fusion’s value and improve design and make workflows. This year alone, we’ve delivered five major updates focusing on new and improved features across design and engineering, electronics, and manufacturing.
Features such as configurations, fastener libraries, automated modeling, advanced geometry tools, multi-axis deposition, and continued toolpath improvements continue to reinforce our commitment to delivering power, flexibility, automation, and unparalleled performance.
Take an in-depth look at what we’ve delivered in the most recent Fusion release and learn about some more exciting news coming from AU 2023.
A: As we continue to add value to Autodesk Fusion, we’re rebalancing the price of Autodesk Fusion and Fusion extensions. As a result, the price of Fusion is going up, we are consolidating the number of extensions down from 8 to 5, and the price of some extensions is going down.
To help with this transition, all existing active subscribers will receive a renewal price lock of $490 USD SRP until 2027.
To learn more about the why behind what’s changing, and a timeline of when the changes are occurring, we encourage you to read this blog post.

A: As an early adopter, your subscription price will remain locked in at $300 USD SRP or local currency equivalent so long as you maintain an active subscription.
If you are a legacy user, your subscription price will remain locked in at $310 USD SRP or local currency equivalent so long as you maintain an active subscription.
If your subscription expires, you will need to repurchase at the current SRP.
A: No, should you fail to maintain an active subscription between now and your renewal cycle in 2027, you will need to repurchase at the current SRP.
A: No, your current experiences will remain the same. If you are an Extension subscriber*, you now get more functionality for less. In addition, overtime Fusion will expand upon its end-to-end capabilities and workflows that put data at the center of everything that you do. We'll also continue to invest in connected manufacturing data operations, sustainability insights, and partnership connections.
A: As part of our effort to simplify the experience and give you more value, the Nesting & Fabrication and Additive Build Extensions are now included in the Machining Extension and the price of these extensions is going down from $1,600 to $1,465. The Machining Extension is also being renamed to the Autodesk Fusion Manufacturing Extension.
For current subscribers of any of these extensions, on November 14, 2023, the additional extensions will be reflected in your Autodesk Account under “Products and Services”, and you will have access to the added functionality directly within Autodesk Fusion.
Current Nesting & Fabrication, and Additive Build subscribers should reach out to an Autodesk sales representative or reseller to discuss next steps as they near their current subscription term expiration.

A: We will continue to develop and improve existing desktop products as we build the Fusion industry cloud. Existing connections and interoperability will be strengthened between our core products and the Fusion industry cloud to support a seamless data exchange. If you’re an existing PDMC subscriber, you already have access to Fusion industry cloud through Fusion within the collection. Fusion extends PDMC workflows by providing access to advanced design and make capabilities. These current and future connections will allow Fusion industry cloud to augment other Autodesk product capabilities and provide new value through cloud-enabled automation workflows and data insights.
If you have PDMC already, you have access to Autodesk Fusion as an entitlement. Today there are workflows to take your data from Inventor to Fusion and from Vault to Fusion as well. These connections and workflows will be strengthened with our core products as we continue to develop the Fusion industry cloud.
