Autodesk Fusion

View and review Fusion designs on Android

Autodesk Fusion is a mobile companion for people who need to inspect 3D CAD designs while away from the desktop. It connects to Autodesk’s cloud-based Fusion product, letting you view models and assemblies, check project updates and share design reviews with colleagues or clients. It is for reviewing and collaborating on designs, not a replacement for the desktop design and engineering tools.

What you can do with it

• Open supported design files in more than 100 formats, including STEP, IGES, STL, DWG and Fusion files.
• Rotate, pan and zoom through models using touch controls, and hide or isolate components to see how an assembly fits together.
• Check model properties and parts lists, and follow project activity and updates.
• Share designs or screenshots with markups for feedback from people inside or outside your organization.

What to keep in mind

The app is most useful when your designs and project information are already part of the Autodesk Fusion workflow. It offers mobile viewing and review tools; the supplied feature information does not describe editing models on the phone. Some functions can use account, storage, photo or camera access, but the app is described as still functioning if optional permissions are declined.

Is it a good fit?

Choose Autodesk Fusion if you need to check a CAD model, inspect its parts or share marked-up views from an Android device. It may not suit someone looking for a standalone mobile CAD editor. The app has more than 1 million installs, but its 1.53 rating across 4,911 reviews is a clear reason to check recent user feedback before relying on it for work. It is published by Autodesk Inc.
