Starting on March 29, 2022 for Fusion 360:

Interactive controls for tool orientation that were previously only available in the Machining Extension (tilt & turn, align to view or surface normal) will move to Fusion 360 at no extra cost.
Fusion 360 will continue to include 2 and 3-axis milling, Turning, Waterjet, laser, plasma, and Probe WCS. Fusion 360 will also continue to include 3+1 and 3+2 positional milling. 
All 4 & 5-axis simultaneous machining capabilities in Fusion 360 (including but not limited to swarf, multi-axis contour, multi-axis flow, multi-axis tilting) will move to the Machining Extension.

These changes will impact existing Fusion 360 customers using multi-axis capabilities as part of a commercial subscription. The chart below highlights the changes being made:

If your business currently uses or needs access to 4 and 5-axis simultaneous machining capabilities, you'll need to subscribe to the Fusion 360 Machining Extension.

Autodesk has partnered with ModuleWorks to enable powerful toolpath calculation technology for multi-axis machining in Fusion 360.

This will be integrated seamlessly into Fusion 360 to complement the existing capabilities to continuously evolve the performance, quality, and functionality while maintaining a familiar user experience.

Stay tuned for future updates surrounding this partnership.
