At the recently concluded Maker Faire Tokyo, Autodesk made a significant announcement: the introduction of a Japanese language version of Fusion 360, its cloud-based CAD/CAM/CAE software. This move comes as part of Autodesk’s ongoing effort to expand access to cutting-edge design tools across the globe. The Japanese edition of Fusion 360 is set to launch this autumn, making it easier for local designers, engineers, and innovators to leverage this powerful platform.
Held over the weekend, Maker Faire Tokyo provided the ideal setting for unveiling this exciting development. As a hub for creativity and technological exploration, the event perfectly aligned with Autodesk’s mission to democratize access to advanced design tools. Fusion 360 stands out as a revolutionary solution that bridges the gap between traditional CAD systems and modern cloud-based workflows. It integrates CAD, CAM, and CAE functionalities into one cohesive platform, empowering users to seamlessly transition from initial concepts to final production.
For Tetsuya Konishi, co-founder and CCO of Exiii—a Japanese startup known for developing innovative myoelectric prosthetics—Fusion 360 represents a game-changer. "Unlike many other tools on the market, Fusion 360 offers an incredibly intuitive interface along with stunningly realistic renderings," he noted. "The level of detail is so high that you can almost touch the objects you create." His team has been using Fusion 360 extensively to refine their prosthetic designs, highlighting how the software enhances both efficiency and creativity.
Kevin Schneider, Director of Fusion 360 at Autodesk, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of introducing such transformative technology to Japan. "We’re thrilled to bring Fusion 360 to Japan, a nation synonymous with innovation in both product design and manufacturing processes," he stated. "By offering a unified experience spanning ideation through execution, we aim to inspire a new generation of industrial designers, mechanical engineers, manufacturers, students, and independent creators."
A striking example of Fusion 360’s capabilities can be seen in Exiii’s latest creation—a motorized prosthetic hand. The intricate details captured in its design underscore the potential of cloud-based solutions like Fusion 360 to push boundaries within specialized fields.
Autodesk remains committed to reducing barriers to entry for aspiring professionals worldwide. Fusion 360 is currently available in English throughout Japan, but the addition of a native language option will undoubtedly broaden its appeal. Notably, Fusion 360 remains free for students, hobbyists, and startups, reflecting Autodesk’s dedication to supporting emerging talent and fostering innovation.
For those eager to explore what Fusion 360 can do, a free 30-day trial is readily accessible via www.autodesk.com/fusion360. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, this versatile tool promises to elevate your projects to new heights. Stay tuned for further updates as Autodesk continues to shape the future of digital design!
Extrusion
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile by pushing material through a die of the desired cross-section. Its two main advantages over other manufacturing processes are its ability to create very complex cross-sections; and to work materials that are brittle, because the material encounters only compressive and shear stresses. It also creates excellent surface finish and gives considerable freedom of form in the design process.
Injection Moulding
Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould, or mold. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including metals (for which the process is called diecasting), glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed (using a helical screw), and injected into a mould cavity, where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity. After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, moulds are made by a mould-maker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either steel or aluminium, and precision machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection moulding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest components to entire body panels of cars. Advances in 3D printing technology, using photopolymers that do not melt during the injection moulding of some lower-temperature thermoplastics, can be used for some simple injection moulds.
