Get Inventor + AutoCAD + Autodesk Fusion + more—Professional-grade tools for product development and manufacturing planning.
A cutting tool is a piece of hardware for a CNC machine with cutting edges that are able to create flat faces, shoulders, slots, and contoured surfaces. There are many options for machinery, tools, and controls to cut a part so it's important to know the fundamentals before selecting the right ones for your machining job.
The Kennametal add-in for Autodesk Fusion streamlines the important steps of selection, creation, and purchasing of the tooling you need for your machining processes. The Kennametal add-in for Autodesk Fusion also reduces the occurrence of mistakes made by manual data entry.
Autodesk Fusion, formerly Autodesk Fusion 360, is design, engineering, electronics, and manufacturing software, all-in-one. Connect your entire product development process into one cloud-based software with integrated 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB.
