Are you using large data sets? Are your commands taking too long to run? Are you pushing AutoCAD or your hardware to its limits? This session will give you valuable insights into the ways AutoCAD is taking advantage of the latest advances in processor technology. It will be led by members of the AutoCAD Desktop team and will explore how to take advantage both of AutoCAD features as well Xeon based workstations and servers with Iris Pro graphics.

This class will show how to use Generative Design Technology to optimise fluid paths in Fusion 360. Taking examples of real valves, the class will show the full workflow to get a model ready, explore it, generate multiple CAD-ready solutions based on our constraints and product performance requirements.

Just because you designed a plastic part, doesn’t mean it can be manufactured at scale. Product design has a significant impact on the cost and timing of part manufacturing. In this class, you’ll learn how to identify and address costly manufacturing issues with Injection Molding Simulation in Autodesk Fusion 360.

Autodesk now has Fusion 360 Manage Extension, Upchain, Fusion 360 Manage, and Vault PLM (Fusion 360 Manage connected to Vault). You know PLM could benefit your organization, but don’t know where to start. We have helped many customers navigate the options they have and identify which PLM solution would benefit them the most, we can help you too.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) systems such as Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage software or Upchain run in the cloud while Vault software and most enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are still installed on-premises. Hidden behind firewalls, on-premises software cannot directly receive update notifications from cloud applications, and have difficulty synchronizing with changes from cloud systems. Polling data from large data sets is time consuming and inefficient. Automated synchronization and digital transformation of data between hybrid PDM, PLM, and ERP systems require more-sophisticated solutions. This class will demonstrate how to efficiently send data from cloud to on-premise systems. We’ll use different examples to demonstrate how the Autodesk Forge Webhooks API and Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage Action Scripts are used to automatically update entities in Vault software, or how cloud PLM systems automatically send Bill of Materials (BOM) data to on-premise ERP systems without the need for the on-premise software to poll for data.

Generative design is changing the way we design, engineer, and manufacture the products of tomorrow. By capitalizing on cloud technology, hundreds or thousands of higher-performing design options can be generated based on objectives, enabling users to make trade-offs for different materials, performance, and production options. The benefits of generative design are also not restricted to just the world of additive manufacturing, but can also be capitalized on with subtractive manufacturing, and even as design inspiration for traditional techniques. In this presentation, we’ll learn how to use Generative Design in Autodesk Fusion 360 software to create multiple models that meet production, performance, and cost requirements, and we’ll choose which ones to produce.

Imagine the possibilities of a fully digitized company in parallel with the real physical entity in an AI-based learning environment. This “digital twin” is described as an instance in the Metaverse. Now imagine a universal, bi-directional communication learning component that auto operates machinery based on key datasets including web traffic, inventory, and even utility electric consumption. No need to imagine, because we’re perfecting the platform. With the support of Lenovo’s powerful workstations & NVIDIA’s Omniverse we now have the ability to research the use of digital twin technologies as a real viable technological solution. Fusion360 is the launching point in design for workflow simulation in a dream ecosystem. In this industry talk, Aram Goganian of Predator Cycling, discusses the application of Fusion360 as a key facilitator for the integration of design, simulation, part management, & 3D print preparation within the development of workflow software system, Ayowork.

Our expertise can get your Vault data and Fusion 360 Manage processes configured and connected, efficiently and according to your unique business process requirements. We know what it takes to build a successful production system, and can do it for you too, because we’ve done it before.

Kinect Fusion allows you to paint in 3D using a Kinect device as a wand, aggregating a point cloud representing a 3D volume (and allowing you to export a mesh of the capture surface). Kinect Fusion started as a UK-based research project between Microsoft Research Cambridge and Imperial College London. It was introduced into the Kinect for Windows® SDK in the 1.7 release, and has the potential to enable low-cost, high-quality reality capture for anyone with a Kinect device. This class looks at a prototype integration of Kinect Fusion inside AutoCAD software, investigating the quality of the results and the potential for further development.

Tips and workflows that show how to use Fusion 360 with Inventor or on its own.

With intuitive visualization tools like Fusion 360, Infraworks 360 and FormIT, you can create compelling visuals in under an hour to share with investors, partners and stakeholders to build understanding, excitement and buy-in.
