Define the engineering deliverables
Autodesk Fusion combines design and manufacturing tools, including CAD and CAM. A manufacturer may use it to develop components and prepare fabrication. Compare that work with the sales task of selecting a supplied product and preparing its quotation, identifying where an order enters the engineering process.
Change an order after fabrication preparation
Choose an order in your range whose width affects a fabricated component. Have engineering prepare the corresponding design or manufacturing data, then revise the customer specification. Ask the proposed workflow to identify the changed order, the affected engineering work and the review needed before fabrication resumes. Use your actual component and process as the example.
Price the sales-to-engineering handoff
Configurix's Elite Aluminum project demonstrates product configuration and item-SKU quoting. For your purchase, list the dimensions, components and revision engineering must receive. Request sample deliverables and estimate the work needed to create or update the Fusion records. Assign responsibility for engineering review and any machine-specific preparation included in the project.
