Fusion with PowerInspect

Overview
Fusion with PowerInspect integrates Autodesk Fusion 360’s design and manufacturing capabilities with PowerInspect’s advanced inspection and metrology tools. This unified solution simplifies and streamlines quality control by enabling teams to measure and verify complex parts—either on-machine or in dedicated inspection cells—directly within the same platform used for design and production. The result is enhanced consistency, reduced rework, and confidence that every piece meets the required specifications.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Inspection Tools: Access a wide range of measurement strategies (probe-based, contact, non-contact) for 3D inspection, ensuring accurate data collection on complex components.
• Seamless Fusion 360 Integration: Align CAD, CAM, and inspection workflows under one cloud-based environment, minimizing file transfers and maintaining consistent part data.
• On-Machine Verification: Check part tolerances directly on CNC equipment, catching errors early and reducing the need to move workpieces to separate inspection stations.
• Flexible Hardware Support: Use PowerInspect with an array of hardware—from portable measuring arms to coordinate measuring machines (CMMs)—for greater adaptability on the shop floor.
• Customizable Reporting: Generate detailed reports and measurement summaries, providing traceability, proof of compliance, and clear communication with stakeholders.

Benefits

• Reduced Errors & Rework: Identify deviations sooner with in-process or post-process inspection, preventing costly scrap and saving valuable production time.
• Higher Quality Standards: Leverage precise metrology solutions for consistent adherence to tight tolerances, improving overall product reliability.
• Accelerated Workflow: Combine design, toolpath generation, and inspection into one platform, speeding up decision-making and eliminating unnecessary handoffs.
• Lower Costs: Early detection of machining inaccuracies helps avoid expensive downstream repairs, replacements, or delays in shipping.
• Greater Collaboration & Transparency: A centralized, cloud-based system ensures all stakeholders—from design to manufacturing to quality assurance—stay aligned on the latest data.

Who It’s For

• CNC Machinists & Production Teams wanting to verify parts on the machine to catch issues before moving forward.
• Quality Assurance & Metrology Departments requiring robust inspection tools that integrate seamlessly with existing CAD/CAM workflows.
• Toolmakers & Mold & Die Shops needing precise inspection data to validate complex geometries and maintain tight tolerances.
• Automotive & Aerospace Suppliers mandated to meet stringent industry standards and ensure traceable, compliant processes.
• R&D & Prototype Labs aiming to test new designs swiftly and verify dimensional accuracy without disrupting production schedules.
