One of the major challenges in architecture—especially with the increased adoption of digital technology in the design process—is interoperability and coordination between design teams that often use software such as Rhino and production teams that use Revit software. In many cases, successfully achieving coordination between these two aspects of the design process requires specialization and complicated workflows. This session will show the benefits of using Autodesk Data Exchange for Rhino to assist in the greater interoperability between Rhino and Revit, leading to better coordination during the project lifecycle. We'll show how Data Exchange for Rhino significantly softens the traditional learning curve for design coordination, giving common users an easy-to-use software. Lastly, we'll highlight some of the other Data Exchange integrations for Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Autodesk Inventor software, and how they impact the design process.

Additive manufacturing allows for a plethora of new manufacturing possibilities. But what about sustainability possibilities? Sustainability is a huge topic and one that rightly is garnering more and more attention. The latticing of parts that additive manufacturing allows can provide huge performance benefits, but also environmental benefits. Autodesk and One Click Metal have worked on combining the Autodesk Fusion 360 Volumetric Lattice tool with One Click Metal's hardware capabilities, to showcase the benefits of using lattices for Laser Powderbed Fusion (LPBF) manufacture, and how this can be used to improve the sustainability of 3D prints. This industry talk will discuss the concept of lattices, the benefits of using lattices for LPBF manufacture, the challenges of printing them, and, most importantly, how they can be used in 3D printing to reduce waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, and promote eco-friendly manufacturing practices.

Autodesk has strength in depth via its global partner network. It's a uniquely positioned group of technical talent that often straddles the breadth of the industries that Autodesk products cover.

Some may be physically present at Autodesk University, whereas others will be present in spirit as their killer tips are shared with you. Autodesk's reseller partners localize specialist knowledge in your regions. Come see what they are made of.

In this session, Autodesk customer Dustin Tabor will discuss best practices involved in implementing a cloud-based PLM solution.

ModuleWorks has a long history of making the best 5-axis technology available to the CAD/CAM market. Today, the strategic partnership between Autodesk and ModuleWorks is making this technology available to the Autodesk Fusion 360 user base. And tomorrow, the benefits of this partnership are likely to be even greater, empowering an open workflow between software and hardware. This presentation will highlight Fusion 360 software's journey with ModuleWorks technology: past, present, and future.

For those who demand the very best treadmills and equipment available, Woodway has been the first choice for performance, durability, and comfort since 1975. This session is an overview of Woodway's ongoing journey, from having disconnected systems (CAD, Vault, spreadsheets, ERP, and more) to implementing a connected digital thread between systems in the pursuit of a "single source of the truth.” We will show how the use of CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP can work together to populate the required information for that digital thread. We will also show that continued implementation of PDM and PLM features can transform a company for "the long run.”

This will help you get started with using the API to develop custom business applications that support your unique data warehousing needs and business process integrations.

Explore capabilities that accurately convey manufacturing process and design intent, while saving time by avoiding duplication and manual data entry. Participants will explore the promotion of sketch dimensions to 3D annotations, proper utilization of model states to demonstrate manufacturing stages, associative identification methods to inscribe critical information onto the model, methods to capture surface treatments or final production procedure, and the delivery of multiple downstream artifacts.

Autodesk acquired an amazing shop-floor solution called Prodsmart in 2022 to serve the Autodesk Fusion 360 user base. The solution is designed to take areas of a manufacturing business—like production tracking, scheduling, and inventory management—digital to streamline operations. Some customers think a solution like this only fits companies that have the opposite environment: low mix, high volume. This class will give tangible tips and tricks on how small businesses with high mix, low volume can completely change the way they work, moving from spreadsheets and paper travelers to completely digital environments, accelerating the small manufacturing businesses' digital transformation.

In this industry talk on visual collaboration and communication in design and manufacturing using VRED software, you will gain valuable insights that can enhance your product development process. The course will explore the importance of visual collaboration and communication, capitalizing on innovative technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and high-end rendering. You will learn how VRED integrates with these technologies to facilitate digital prototyping, remote collaboration, and streaming of design data. Additionally, the course will emphasize the advantages of cloud-based solutions for seamless access to project data and the use of high-end rendering capabilities. Real-world use-case examples will demonstrate the transformative impact these technologies have on communication, commitment, and sales.

We'll cover the interface while looking at the difference between workflow types as well as the individual primitives. We'll look at some real-world examples we've seen from existing clients, and walk through examples of these workflows in action.

General contractors, like Bouygues Construction, face new challenges: skilled workforce shortages and a need for sustainability engagement (carbon footprint reduction) and high quality. Compared to the manufacturing industry, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has been struggling to improve productivity for years. To tackle these challenges, we need to transform our ways of working by going beyond building information modeling (BIM)-expected outcomes. Our dedicated team SmartFabrik embeds engineering methodology as a new approach to construction in functional bricks. These bricks maximize knowledge and know-how management (from all actors at all steps). Through this new modularity, we can produce deliverables that meet the jobsite's actual needs and requirements. This process is a foundation of Building 4.0, moving from multitrade on-site activities to modules and tasks' assembly. The as-built model is the starting point for the future digital twin. During this class we'll illustrate the approach with the MEP Riser module using Manufacturing Informed Design software.
