AUTODESK FUSION TEAM - IS IT RIGHT FOR MY COMPANY?

There I was in his office, talking over Fusion Team and how important it was for all companies to be using it with Fusion 360.  I described the cons of not having a Fusion Team Hub, the benefits having it could add.

 

 

"But why do they need it?" he asked again.  "Can't they still share files, even without it?"

I explained again, but the words passed in one ear and out the other.  Sometimes I think just the mention of "cloud" makes a concept more foggy to some people, so I tried to relate it to computer systems most people are already comfortable with.

"Ok, look at it this way," I said as I grabbed a whiteboard marker and started sketching out the way I saw it.  I don't know what it is about illustrating it, but I could see as the confused look in the eyes transitioned into understanding.  He finally grasped what we were talking about.  

With that experience, I decided I'd share with our readers (or in this case viewers) what we know about Fusion Team.

  • Why should a company using Fusion 360 also be taking advantage of Fusion Team?
  • What problems might they face if they don't use Fusion Team?
  • Do you still need it, even if you're not modeling, but only doing CAM, Simulation, or Visualization in Fusion 360?
