![]() “Ranging from Airbus’s Bionic Partition to Hyundai’s Elevate walking car, and including SRAM’s lighter, stiffer bicycle parts, generative design has helped accelerate both futuristic and practical projects by our customers,” he continued. “In the years since we first released generative design, we’ve created efficiencies in the software, optimised in the cloud, and, thanks to input from the community, become insightful about how our customers use the tool,” said Stephen Hooper, VP and general manager of Autodesk Fusion 360. The good news for those interested in the Fusion 360 pricing pay-per-use model is that where Autodesk previously charged 100 cloud credits to do anything useful with a resultant model (export, conversion to t-splines and so on), this practice has been abandoned entirely. #FUSION 360 PRICING UPDATE#The latest update sees Autodesk slash some prices dramatically, down to $1,600 for the all-you-can-eat subscription (or $200 per month), but bump up the price on pay-per-use, with compute costs now at 33 cloud credits (equivalent to $33), up from 25 credits previously. The company has experimented with several pricing models for its cloud-based generative design exploration tools – pay-per-use, pay-per-compute, pay-per-result and more recently, introducing a pretty costly all-you-can-eat subscription model with its Generative Design Extension, coming in at $8,000 per year. #FUSION 360 PRICING FREE#Get your FREE print subscription to TCT Magazine.Autodesk has announced some significant changes to its pricing of Fusion 360 generative design tools.

We’ve been doing all the work to get to this point and we’re really excited to announce this as a major change in how we provide access.” “Whatever the case is, we want to make sure that every designer or engineer has the ability to leverage this technology when they see fit. “We’ve been working really hard to make sure that every engineer can use this as a tool in their toolbox when they have a problem that they need to solve and they need the aid of the computer to do it,” Autodesk Senior Product Line Manager Brian Frank told TCT. Now, the company expects the user base to grow significantly. Yet the previous cost of Autodesk’s generative design offering has meant many companies have been unable to adopt or have had to limit access to individuals. ![]() ![]() #FUSION 360 PRICING SERIES#Using computational algorithms, generative design harnesses a series of design goals, performance and spatial requirements, manufacturing methods, materials and cost constraints to explore all possible permutations and generate a series of design alternatives. Autodesk says it has always been an aspiration to offer generative design technology at a more affordable cost. ![]()
