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.

Digital Prototypings for AI-Driven Facility Management: Delivering Connected Solutions with Autodesk Tandem
"In a world that is becoming increasingly data-driven, the value of facility data lies not just in its volume—but in its “accuracy, freshness, and integration”. At Autodesk University 2025, we are proud to showcase a powerful new vision for facility management: a Digital Prototyping platform that seamlessly connects design, operation, and intelligence. We believe the future of facility management hinges on “high-quality data”—data that is not only precise but constantly updated, easily accessible, and contextually rich. To deliver this, we go beyond just creating Digital Prototypings—we create “connected ecosystems”. At the heart of our approach is the “fusion of three powerful platforms”: * Autodesk Tandem – for BIM-based Digital Prototyping modeling and lifecycle data management * Eptura – for proven excellence in asset and workplace management * Shimizu Corporation's Facility Data Hub – our proprietary platform that brings deep field experience and operational insight into the digital layer Together, we build and maintain a “next-generation Digital Prototyping” that integrates building design (BIM), workplace operations, and asset performance into a single source of truth. We call this: “Autodesk Tandem + Eptura with BIM Integration”. This is not just a concept—it’s a working solution. We are proud to be validating this integrated platform in our own headquarters building in Tokyo. Here, we bring theory into practice, using real-time data, real-world assets, and actual operations to demonstrate how a unified Digital Prototyping can drive smarter decisions, better maintenance, and more sustainable facility operations. Our commitment to “data quality” is unwavering—because AI-driven insights are only as good as the data that feeds them. And in tomorrow’s world, where Automation, Integration, & Customization and intelligence will define success, we believe that Digital Prototypings must be both “technically robust and operationally meaningful”. Come visit our exhibit and experience: * How Autodesk Tandem structures and visualizes BIM data across the building lifecycle * How Eptura enhances asset intelligence and workplace efficiency * How Shimizu’s Facility Data Hub ensures continuity between construction, occupancy, and operation * And how all of these come together to form an AI-ready Digital Prototyping—designed not just for today, but for the evolving challenges of tomorrow This is more than software. It’s a strategic collaboration. It’s a commitment to smarter, connected, sustainable buildings. ”Experience the future. Experience the twin.”

Aim93: Designing the Fastest Bicycle in the World, Enabled by Autodesk Generative Design and CFD
The presentation will open with veteran cycle designer Mike Burrows, who will introduce the design strategy behind his initial frame design for the vehicle. He will describe the proof-of-principle model created to road test rolling resistance, wheel size and tyre selection. From that data, he designed and fabricated a carbon frame through a craft, analogue process, building on his considerable experience but without the use of any digital design aids. The courses were modelled mathematically in respect to the drag induced by the terrain. By the end of 2017 an initial prototype vehicle was ready for track testing and evaluation. This prototype will be used for UK speed and hour records in early 2018. Following Mike's introduction, Glen Thompson of London South Bank University will describe the aerodynamic considerations. Concurrently to the frame design, he was developing the external faring for the vehicle around datum points from Mike?s design. Approximately 30 iterations of form were generated over a period of 2 years, slowed by the requirement to solve models locally. The drag coefficients of early designs were benchmarked against models of the existing world record holder, Varna, and subsequently refined to absolute values with a goal to minimise the size of the transition zone to reduce drag. The second half of the presentation will be made by Barney Townsend of London South Bank University, and will focus on Autodesk's contribution to the project: the use of generative design and cloud computing to develop the next generation HPV design for the world speed record. Autodesk CFD will be used to validate existing results, and employ cloud computing to massively accelerate design improvements on the faring. This second-generation, hopefully world-record-breaking, vehicle will be manufactured in June with help from the Autodesk Advanced Manufacturing facility. At time of writing this abstract, the existing frame has been 3d scanned and imported to Fusion ready for subsequent rebuilding of the model for use with Generative Design. The presentation will conclude with the latest road test results and designs, and future plans for the record attempt at Battle Mountain, Nevada in September 2018. It will also summarise plans for a future spinout of the project as an HPV design project for STEM education in schools.

Design, Simulate, and Prototype: The AU Factory Experience
Before attending this class, we recommend visiting and participating in the Autodesk Factory Experience on the exhibition floor. Prototyping while developing a new product design is critical to ensure delivery of higher-quality parts to market. This step in the product design cycle is, however, typically time-consuming and costly through iterating and purchasing/making individual parts. This is why many product designers have already turned primarily to digital prototyping rather than physical prototyping, so they can ensure on-time product delivery that doesn't break the bank. This class will focus on how you can utilize Fusion 360 and its extensions for digital prototyping, focusing on an Autodesk Factory assembly product. Consumer electronics is a fast-moving segment, where time and collaboration is critical to be ahead of the competition. We'll demonstrate how to effectively experiment with product design alternatives, collaborate with key project stakeholders, test layouts for PCB, simulate structural and manufacturing aspects, and render final product previews, all within Fusion 360.
