The application CAD Studio Furniture for Fusion 360 (Furniture) is a woodworking and cabinetmaking add-in for the CAD/CAM software Autodesk Fusion 360 (for Windows).
It enables to streamline and automate parametric design, documentation creation and visualization of cabinets and other types of wooden furniture.
Fusion 360 adds a series of features to streamline the creation, modification and documentation of furniture elements. The application UI is available in English and Czech.
Furniture for Fusion (FFF, F4F) is a furniture design software designed for the woodworking industry, fully integrated into Autodesk Fusion 360.
Autodesk Fusion 360 is a powerful design tool that does not itself provide any industry-specific tools, such as for the furniture industry.
This led us to develop the Furniture product with the help of furniture industry experts, to streamline and optimize their design work. Furniture stands out for its simplicity, low hardware requirements and above all affordability.
Furniture is built on a packaging modeling approach that is ideal for fast prototyping of wooden panels.
For an efficient design creation, Furniture is equipped with tools for inserting and replacing components, managing dimensional and material configurations, a structured BOM with different views as needed (for pricing, manufacturing and ordering material).
