Description
The Autodesk Factory Experience at AU is where attendees get a hands-on experience of the concept-to-production process using Autodesk Fusion software. Last year, the Autodesk team designed and developed a customizable keypad for Autodesk apps, using PCBs, 3D printing, injection molding, and sheet fabrication. Attendees had explored the mini-factory floor and tailored their own keypads with computer numerical control (CNC)-engraved keys with frequently used Autodesk app commands. The AU 2024 Factory Experience: Keypad 2.0 Sustainability Redesign is focused on Autodesk's commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency in manufacturing. This overview will cover insights into common product design and manufacturing challenges that many companies face in their efforts to reduce energy consumption and prioritize eco-friendly, nonpolluting processes that are safe for employees, communities, and consumers—with help from brilliant Fusion design social influencers, sustainability partners, and amazing Autodeskers!
