Avnet Announces Release of Autodesk Fusion Integration Enables design engineers to streamline design workflow

PHOENIX – October 15, 2024 – Design engineers can now access thousands of reference design schematics, lead time and pricing trends, and fast alternate guidance with the launch of the Avnet App, an add-in for Autodesk Fusion.

Avnet is the first to add these design capabilities and insights via a globally available add-in to the Autodesk Fusion solution. The Avnet App will give design engineers access to a powerful part search, alternates library, project cost and supply chain health analysis, datasheets, component symbols and more.

Autodesk Fusion is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, PCB and mechanical engineering solution for product design and manufacturing. Avnet’s new features are offered as a Fusion add-in to streamline design workflow, helping design engineers meet functional requirements, cost targets, manufacturing goals, and lifecycle timelines.

“As a key technology partner in the early stages of design and product realization, Avnet provides engineers with valuable tools through the app,” said Chris Jackson, VP, Digital Strategy and Innovation, Avnet. “The reference design library is full of schematics and project descriptions that engineers can directly place into their designs with a simple in-app search in as few as three clicks.”
