Autodesk Netfabb plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb | $4415/year | 5 | Entry tier |
| Netfabb Simulation | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb
$4415/yearThe entry tier. It covers single-user subscription, netfabb build preparation, formerly premium, selected functionality from the retired ultimate edition, autodesk fusion and fusion manufacturing extension included, multi-year terms available at a discount.
Netfabb Simulation
On requestOver Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb, this tier adds:
- Metal powder bed build simulation
- Quoted through Autodesk sales, no published price
What the product covers
The full Autodesk Netfabb feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Mesh repair
- Build orientation and nesting
- Support generation
- Build simulation
- Geometry compensation
- Lattice and shell structures
- Machine library
- Fusion bundle
People bring Autodesk Netfabb in for a metal additive bureau predicting distortion on a laser powder bed build before committing twenty hours of machine time, an aerospace supplier applying automatic geometry compensation so printed parts land within tolerance without iterative trial builds, a production department nesting hundreds of small parts into a single polymer build to raise volume utilisation, an engineering team that already subscribes to fusion and wants am preparation without adding a second vendor. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Autodesk Netfabb are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Manufacturing
Too few manufacturing tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Autodesk Netfabb badges page.
Before you pay for Autodesk Netfabb
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $4415/year and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Autodesk Netfabb against the tools that do have one before committing.
Autodesk Netfabb runs on windows, desktop, and is published by Autodesk, Inc. of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Autodesk Netfabb review, and the rest of the category is under best manufacturing tools.
Autodesk Netfabb pricing questions
- How much does Autodesk Netfabb cost?
- Autodesk Netfabb publishes 2 tiers, from $4415/year for Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb up to On request for Netfabb Simulation. The cheapest paid tier is $4415/year.
- Does Autodesk Netfabb have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Autodesk Netfabb is listed as Per user per year. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb and Netfabb Simulation on Autodesk Netfabb?
- Netfabb Simulation costs On request against $4415/year, and adds metal powder bed build simulation, quoted through autodesk sales, no published price.
- Is the Netfabb Simulation plan on Autodesk Netfabb worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is metal powder bed build simulation, quoted through autodesk sales, no published price. It costs On request against $4415/year for Autodesk Fusion with Netfabb. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Autodesk Netfabb?
- The record lists 8 features across 1 area: other. In practice it is brought in for a metal additive bureau predicting distortion on a laser powder bed build before committing twenty hours of machine time, an aerospace supplier applying automatic geometry compensation so printed parts land within tolerance without iterative trial builds, a production department nesting hundreds of small parts into a single polymer build to raise volume utilisation.
- Does Autodesk Netfabb charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Autodesk Netfabb prices current?

- What should I compare Autodesk Netfabb against before paying?
- The closest manufacturing tools in this directory are Poseidon Systems, IBM Maximo Application Suite, Kepware Server, Samotics. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Autodesk Netfabb covering price, platforms and features.
