Authentise Additive MES + Autodesk Fusion 360: The Bundle That Saves Time (and Money)

Intro: The Challenge of Time & Cost in Additive Manufacturing

Time is money - and nowhere is that truer than in additive manufacturing. Every extra email, every delayed design edit, every re-quoted part adds up. Manufacturers know that the difference between profit and loss often comes down to workflow efficiency.

That’s why Authentise and Autodesk have joined forces to offer a bundle that connects Additive MES (Manufacturing Execution System) with CAD collaboration in Fusion 360. Together, they’re streamlining workflows from order intake to design to production, cutting wasted hours and reducing costly mistakes.

1. From Quote to Production in One Place

With Authentise Flows, you can:

• Take in external and internal orders quickly.

• Generate quotes automatically.

• Attach production workflows that capture every critical step.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets and email chains, every order and workflow lives in one integrated Additive MES. That means less admin, fewer miscommunications, and faster time-to-production.

2. Capture Engineering Knowledge, Not Just Chat

Hand-offs and revisions are where projects usually slow down. That’s where Authentise Threads comes in.

• Capture every design conversation in context.

• Track why key engineering decisions were made.

• Assign deadlines and actions with AI-powered suggestions.

Unlike generic chat tools, Threads turns “tribal knowledge” into a structured history you can revisit - saving hours in rework and reducing compliance headaches.

3. Real-Time Design Edits with Autodesk Fusion 360

When a part needs an adjustment, most teams face painful delays: exporting CAD, emailing files, re-quoting, and hoping nothing gets lost in the process.

The Authentise + Fusion bundle changes that.

• Edit parts directly in Fusion 360.

• Save and sync those updates instantly into Flows and Threads.

• Get updated quotes and workflow steps automatically.

That means your team isn’t waiting days for an answer - they’re moving forward in minutes.

4. The Commercial Value: Why Bundles Save You More

Individually, these tools already deliver value. But together, they offer multiplicative ROI:

• Time saved → Faster order-to-print cycles.

• Error reduction → Fewer dropped details between tools.

• Compliance made easy → Full audit trails for certifications.

• Lower overhead → No need to stitch together multiple platforms.

• One package deal → A single commercial relationship that reduces licensing complexity and cost.

In short: you’re not just buying software. You’re buying back hours of engineering time, reducing project risk, and boosting throughput.

5. Don’t Take Our Word for It — See It in Action

In our recent webinar, Tex from Authentise walks through how an order flows seamlessly from Flows to Threads to Fusion 360. It’s a quick, practical look at how this bundle helps teams work faster and smarter.

Conclusion: Make Time Work for You

The additive industry doesn’t reward wasted effort. The Authentise + Autodesk Fusion 360 bundle is designed for manufacturers who want to turn urgent requirements into trusted parts at the speed of need - while saving money along the way.
