A Hitchhiker’s Guide to ArcGIS GeoBIM and the Forma

Get on the road to cloud-cloud integration between geographic information system (GIS) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) with ArcGIS GeoBIM and Forma software. This instructional demo will showcase customer examples of the benefits gained from the fusion of geography and BIM data for project portfolio management, collaboration, and construction project insights informed by geography. By following best practices for geolocating intelligent models, AutoCAD software, AutoCAD Civil 3D software, and Revit software, users can help ensure effective integration of these models in GIS. This reduces the cost of integration by ensuring upfront data quality. To facilitate this, ArcGIS GeoBIM provides analytics to identify documents with geolocation errors. Managing and visualization issues during the design, construction, and handover of BIM projects is crucial for financial and operational performance. We will show how the integration of GIS and BIM with project and issue performance dashboards significantly improves insights into these critical aspects of project management.

Empowering Tomorrow's Factories with Seamless Autodesk Integration

By 2027, the Digital Prototyping Automation, Integration, & Customization market will surpass $400 billion. This isn’t a trend, it’s a transformation. Rising shipping and raw material costs, plus geopolitical instability, are driving manufacturers to reevaluate global strategies. Labor-cost-driven models are giving way to nearshoring and supply chain optimization, enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and 5G. Digital factories offer real-time data, autonomous decision making, and unmatched efficiency. Autodesk is uniquely positioned to lead this shift with end-to-end cloud solutions—from factory design to construction, simulation, Digital Prototypings, and asset management. With tools like Autodesk Fusion, Autodesk Tandem, Autodesk Forma, and Autodesk Forma, Autodesk ensures seamless data flow and collaboration across every phase. This talk will explore how Digital Prototyping Automation, Integration, & Customization is reshaping global manufacturing—and how Autodesk empowers businesses to build smarter, faster, and more resilient factories.

Architecting with Steel: Design Large, Complex 3D-Printed Structures leveraging Fusion!

Meet "The Brænch"—an organic 3-meter-high steel structure fabricated with advanced 3D printing technology. This class showcases how our cross-disciplinary team used Fusion to unlock novel design workflows and create unique architectural elements that are 3 times cheaper than if they were die cast. We'll demonstrate why architects should consider adding Fusion to their toolbox for generative design, optimization, and FEA simulation to move beyond certain limitations of Rhino/Grasshopper. Through detailed examples, we'll present an integrated workflow improving material efficiency and structural performance in large-scale metal components. The class targets architects first approaching manufacturing, practically demonstrating how to align design with fabrication requirements, opening possibilities for applications such as façade components and structural elements while leveraging additive manufacturing to tackle material transportation, construction cost, and supply chain challenges.

Pharma Industry: Why BIM Can Become a Digital Transformation Cornerstone

Building information modeling (BIM) processes with federated 3D models and centralized common data environments (CDEs) are well-accepted norms in project delivery. Yet, the benefits derived from this digitalization favor the engineering companies over the manufacturing owner. Moreover, the owner's transformation focus is mostly on digitizing highly regulated drug releases and manufacturing performance. Converging these two digital approaches is not often seen as a priority. Yet, it may be a foundational step toward a successful digital transformation for businesses and their people. We’ll make the case for data convergence between digital assets (descriptive digital twins) and manufacturing data and analytics to solve business problems, like accessing the right information and documentation without time loss. We’ll share how the human-centered approach made visible the foundational benefit of BIM by linking objects to information using BIM 360 (collaborate) and data fusion technologies, and which KPIs can demonstrate value.

Data-Driven: Digitally Share CAD Data Throughout the Product Lifecycle

CAD data is the most important intellectual property that a manufacturer has. Autodesk offers products that create, manage, and enrich this data. AutoCAD, Inventor, and Autodesk Fusion 360 software create this data while Vault, Fusion 360 Manage Extension, and Upchain help manage it. The cloud-based Fusion 360 and Autodesk Forma platforms facilitate collaboration within the field, while Prodsmart helps collaboration within production. Simultaneously, aspects of this data need to be shared with other enterprise systems like ERP. Ultimately, all these systems must be able to share aspects of this data throughout the lifecycle of a manufacturer's products. We'll demonstrate, via examples of Autodesk customer projects, how technologies such as Autodesk Platform Services and other third-party technologies make it possible to share this important data between these systems rather than leaving it siloed in different systems.

Spit It Out: How AEC and the Manufacturing Data Model API Can Feed ERP Systems

Autodesk Forma or Fusion Team is used to store product data created with Revit, Autodesk Fusion, Inventor, and other Autodesk CAD authoring tools. The data stored in these cloud systems is often the most important intellectual property, and it's also critical for users who do not have access to Autodesk cloud-based systems. Learn how you can use Autodesk's AEC Data Model API and Manufacturing Data Model API to extract bills of materials (BOMs), product quantities, and other critical metadata, and publish it to enterprise resource planning (ERP)—or other enterprise systems. Accurate, reliable, and free from manual data entry.

Enabling Industrialized Construction with the Informed Design API

In this session, we’ll cover the new Informed Design API. Informed Design is an Autodesk offering aimed at connecting products created in Inventor or Autodesk Fusion software with project data in Revit software. This will improve project outcomes and increase productivity by bringing together the capabilities of our manufacturing software with our architecture, engineering, and construction software. The class will start with an overview of Informed Design and how the API can be used to extend and customize the offering. We’ll cover product creation in Inventor and Fusion. And we’ll look at how to create good BIM content by generating well-formed Revit families for use in a Revit project. Then we’ll show how to create outputs from a Revit project at scale. We’ll follow up with an overview of specific examples of how our customers and partners are using the API, followed by an example of how to use the API.

Dynamic Cutting Force Prediction for Optimized Milling Parameter Selection in Autodesk Fusion

Machinist dynamics models may be used to predict milling performance and select optimal parameters at the computer numerical control (CNC) path planning stage. The intent is to select parameters that enable first part correct performance and avoid trial-and-error parameter identification. This requires that chatter, or self-excited vibration, does not occur, and that acceptable accuracy and surface finish are achieved. This session will demonstrate dynamic force prediction for Autodesk Fusion toolpaths, which incorporates the tool tip vibration response to predict the dynamic cutting force and tool vibration and the effect of relative vibration between the cutting tool and workpiece on the milling stability. This enables us to identify and correct locations where chatter occurs before part production. It introduces a feed rate optimization capability that modifies cutting times by updating the feed rate. And it has been shown to reduce cycle times by up to 50%. We’ll select an aerospace part and show results.
