One Fusion 360 – Tier Consolidation

On October 7th, 2018, we are enhancing Fusion 360 to a single product offering that includes ALL available functionality. We want you, our community, to be able to take full advantage of what Fusion 360 has to offer.

This new offering will include access to everything currently included in Fusion 360 Ultimate and includes extended functionality such as:

Generative design (requires cloud credits)

Advanced simulation (requires cloud credits)

5-axis CAM, 3+2-axis CAM

Cloud credits will now offer the flexibility of being purchased independently and as you need them.

Hear from Stephen Hooper, General Manager of the Fusion 360 family regarding the new offering and our decision to remove the barriers to technology so that you have the freedom to innovate, explore, and make anything.

Before we get into the details, we want to thank each one of you for your loyalty and for making Fusion 360 what it is today. Take a look below for detailed information based upon your current entitlement:

All Fusion 360 Commercial Subscribers – On or before October 6th, 2018, you will receive access to all current capabilities of Fusion 360. New capabilities will be available to all current Fusion 360 subscribers as they become available in the product. For example, generative design in Fusion 360, currently scheduled for an October, 16th release, will become available to all commercial subscribers when it is officially available in tech preview.

Fusion 360 Standard Subscribers (annual and multi-year) – Your current subscription price will remain at the discounted rate of $310 USD (for as long as you renew). On or before October 7th, you will gain access to the new functionality mentioned above. Any lapse in subscription will require purchase at the new price of $495 USD. Make sure auto-renew is turned on to secure your current price.

Fusion 360 Ultimate Subscribers – No action is needed on your end. The functionality you have access to today will now be at a lower price of $495 USD.
