NexGenSolutions

What NexGenSolutions does

NexGenSolutions, originally founded as NexGenCAM in 2008, is a private Autodesk Solution Provider and Gold/Platinum Support Partner headquartered in Wisconsin with primary operations in Zionsville, Indiana, and a Vancouver, British Columbia office established in 2023. The company resells and supports the full Autodesk Design and Make portfolio — Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, PartMaker, PowerMill, PowerShape, Moldflow, Vault, HSMWorks, and CAMplete — for North American manufacturers and job shops across CNC machining, injection molding, mold and die, and advanced manufacturing workflows. Beyond resell, NexGenSolutions monetizes through four service streams: software license sales (one-time), recurring Platinum Support subscriptions, custom post-processor development, and professional services including training (Fusion Accelerator, Mastery series, custom on-site) and implementation/consulting at hourly rates.

The technology stack is the Autodesk ecosystem plus integrations (Fusion Manage PLM, CAM Assist by CloudNC for AI-powered toolpath generation, and FreshDesk for customer support). Differentiated services include rapid custom post-processors (turnaround under 24 hours cited), Moldflow analysis in partnership with CAE Services, and proactive Platinum Support that extends beyond break/fix to include minor post-processor edits, LMS access, and training. The customer base spans enterprise names (Chips MFG/Steris, OTTO Engineering, Meyer Tool & Mfg., 3-Dimensional Services) across diverse manufacturing verticals.

In February 2026, NexGenSolutions merged with DSI (Design and Software International) to form North America's premier Autodesk Design and Make partner, now operating under the DSI brand, with prior acquisitions including Programming Plus (2017), Applied Engineering's Autodesk software division (2022), and Automated Solutions Inc. (2024). Headcount sits at 11-50; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct industry-specialized technical experts, augmented by channel partners (Selway Machine Tool, Matsuura USA) and supported by educational webinars, blog content, trade show presence, and email nurture programs.
