CAM Manufacturing: If you have a milling machine, CNC or laser cutter you can use Fusion 360 to manufacture the parts you have designed using the CAM or computer aided manufacturing module.Simulation: If you are worried about the resistance that a certain part will have, you can use its FEA module to know, for example, if a certain part, once manufactured in a specific material, will bend when a specific force is applied.Rendering: You can give your parts the specific look of a particular material available in their library, position the lights wherever you want and finally take virtual “pictures” of how the model would look once manufactured with the appropriate materials.

In addition to designing the piece itself, with Fusion 360 you can do a lot more using its modules, including:

Sweep a profile along a user-defined curve.

Creating screw threads with standard metrics.

Since it’s such a complex program, it would be impossible for us to tell you everything you can do with Fusion 360, but we’ll give you a few more examples so you can understand the scale of this software and the possibilities it gives you compared to simpler ones like Tinkercad:
