\"\" Fusion 360 is a single platform that lets you take control of your entire product development process, but that doesn\u2019t mean one size fits all. We understand that for specific applications, some of our customers need access to the most advanced capabilities in the industry\u2014the type of tools that usually cost tens of thousands of dollars to acquire and use. That\u2019s why we want to begin offering some of these very advanced and, in some cases, specialized capabilities right within Fusion 360. Most importantly, we want to provide these to you in a way that gives you the complete freedom to pay for what you need, when you need it. Rest assured: nothing is changing with your current Fusion 360 subscription. We\u2019re not taking anything away from it and we\u2019re not increasing the price of it. We\u2019re simply providing a new way for you to extend your Fusion 360 experience in a way that gives you more control. Let me explain. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Pay-As-You-Go<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your Fusion 360 subscription includes access to a range of tools for design, simulation, collaboration, and manufacturing<\/span>. It also gives you the option to access advanced features like generative design<\/a>, advanced simulation<\/a>, or rendering<\/a>\u00a0using cloud computing by paying an additional fee using cloud credits.<\/span> Delivering these powerful capabilities with a pay-as-you-go approach helps us democratize tools like generative design, so you can be more innovative and increase productivity as a design and manufacturing professional. But in certain instances, you might need access to more specific tools for specialist applications.\u00a0<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Extending Your Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a design, engineering, or manufacturing specialist, you might occasionally need access to specialized tools that are tailored to your expertise. Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could extend your existing Fusion 360 experience by tailoring it to your specialist application\u2014paying for what you need, when you need it? We\u2019re now making this a reality by introducing extensions for Fusion 360. Extensions represent a way for you to switch on groups of high-end capabilities in Fusion 360 to complement particular industry specializations. You can enable extensions right within the product by paying with Cloud Credits<\/a>, all while maintaining a seamless experience as you activate and begin using the technology in an extension. To give you flexibility, you can activate extensions on a short-term basis, meaning you can tailor usage according to your changing business needs. You can decide whether to switch on an extension sporadically based on project demands, or keep it activated on an ongoing basis. It\u2019s your choice. So while extensions give you flexible access to advanced capabilities, you still have access to all of your normal workflows and project data with the same unified Fusion 360 experience, from the design phase all the way through to manufacturing your product. <\/p>\n

Unprecedented Value<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether you prefer a pay-as-you-go approach or extensions for your Fusion 360 experience, we\u2019re on a mission to deliver unprecedented value to you, whichever way you like it.<\/span> The first extension we plan to introduce will focus on manufacturing capabilities. This is just the beginning and we\u2019re excited to share more soon. Gone are the days of configuring a costly stack of tools from disparate software providers in the high tens of thousands of dollars, just to get the job done.<\/span> To learn more about the manufacturing extension release, browse here<\/a>.<\/span> \"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
