Released in 2013, Autodesk Fusion 360 is one of the most commonly used 3D computer-aided design, manufacturing, engineering and printed circuit board (3D CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB) software, rivalled by a few.

Here we’ve discussed the minimum and recommended system requirements for Autodesk Fusion 360.

Fusion 360 minimum system requirements

Following are the minimum system requirements to use Fusion 360 on your Windows or Mac device.

Note that these are only the minimum system requirements to run Fusion 360. The required specs will keep on increasing depending on the complexity and size of the models. Strong processor, RAM and GPU is a necessity for complex projects.
