Today, Autodesk is simplifying the process for customers to fully harness the power of generative design with the launch of the Fusion 360 Generative Design Extension. This new subscription option gives users ongoing access to advanced generative design tools, available either at $1,000 per month or $8,000 annually. It's designed to help designers and engineers explore new possibilities without limits.
To make this powerful tool even more accessible, Autodesk is offering an exclusive introductory deal through July 17. Customers who purchase an annual plan for both Fusion 360 and the Generative Design Extension will receive a 50% discount on the regular price. This is a great opportunity for teams looking to optimize performance, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.
For those who prefer a pay-as-you-go model, the Generative Design Extension will still be available through Autodesk Cloud Credits. This ensures flexibility for all types of users—whether you're working on a one-time project or need continuous access.
“We've heard from our customers that flexibility and cost predictability are essential, especially in today’s dynamic environment,†said Stephen Hooper, vice president and general manager of Fusion 360. “We’re excited to provide a solution that meets their needs, whether they're small teams or large industry leaders. The results we're seeing—from casual users to major innovators—are truly impressive.â€
As part of our ongoing commitment to expanding Fusion 360’s capabilities, we continue to build a library of extensions that allow users to access specialized tools whenever they need them. Last year, we introduced the Manufacturing Extension, which helps streamline production with automation and greater control over manufacturing processes.
Generative design has already made a big impact across industries. For example, Honda’s R&D team redesigned a crankshaft to be 50% lighter, while Briggs Automotive Company used it to create high-performance supercar wheels. MJK Performance also benefited by producing stronger and lighter triple clamps for drag bikes.
These real-world applications show how versatile and valuable generative design can be—no matter the scale or complexity of the project.
