Are you new to Fusion 360 software or are you an Inventor user looking to make the switch to Fusion 360? If so, this is the class for you. We will be focusing on the 2 methods that Fusion 360 uses to design a multiple-component assembly. Additionally, you will learn how to incorporate motion into this design once you've fully assembled and constrained it. For you existing Inventor users, we will discuss the similarities and differences to help you make the transition.

The rendering workspace is where your designs come to life. Why spend 1,000 words describing the beauty of your design when a simple gorgeous image would do the same? Over the course of 60 minutes, we'll teach you how to utilize Fusion 360 software's rendering workspace to turn your perfectly engineered designs into photorealistic images. We'll use real-world examples to showcase how scene settings, lighting techniques, texture maps, and advanced material editing can take your renderings to the next level.

Designing and making a custom-fit Ironman suit with my son for Comic-Con International: San Diego is the inspiration for this class. It's like asking a tailor to use CAD for textile design or requesting a well-cut Italian suit made from metal. It started with the shape of my son. Then the compounded complexity of modeling sheet metal layers that custom fit him. Last but not least, how were we to work out the flat pattern of these complex surfaces? Finally, we had to make it, but with what and how? In this class, we'll explore a digital workflow with Fusion 360 software. We can use ReCap Pro software to convert human scan data to mesh model. We can refine mesh model with ReMake software. We can use Fusion 360 for sheet metal design based on the human mesh. And we can do flat pattern creation with ExactFlat Online software. We then lay out a nested flat pattern and cut on stock sheet using Fusion 360 CAM 2D profile cutting. We assemble all the parts together, and the custom-fit Ironman suit is finalized with perfect shape and size.

After attending this class, you will have the knowledge needed to be effective in sheet metal design.

This class will look at the Fusion 360 application's APIs (application programming interfaces) and how you can use these APIs to extend the Fusion 360 app functionality. We will also discuss how you can use the APIs as part of your automation or integration processes.

Autodesk Inventor Presentation environment has been redesigned in Inventor 2017. The new timeline based workflows and snapshot views allow you to easily control exploded views, assemble animations and viewports so you can get the exact views you need for your technical documentation. This class will also cover best practices to speedup the workflow.

Everyone is experiencing the skills gap change to some degree. With the increasing breadth of this issue looming over manufacturing, automating processes have become paramount to every business. Many CAD/CAM products offer solutions that come close; however, they leave people feeling daunted, which causes more of a setback, rather than a solution. In this class, we’ll demonstrate how the new generation of cloud and advanced manufacturing solutions will help close the gap. The goal is to communicate how Fusion 360 and PowerMill can improve the efficiency of subtractively manufacturing your parts, increasing productivity, and complementing your existing workflows.

Let your customers unleash their inner rock star. Engineer to order has been done, but what about design to order? Learn how to create flexible complex designs driven from customer inputs. Increase efficiencies and margins using the sculpting tools in the Fusion 360 3D CAD design app and the automation capabilities of Inventor software. We use our startup, Orphanage Guitars, as a case study to illustrate how our customers are able to design their own custom carved-top electric guitars to their specifications in a matter of minutes. We let you behind the curtain, show our process, and discuss the pros and cons of alternative mass customization methods.

Fusion 360 3D CAD/CAM software offers several modeling environments for different types of modeling, from technical details to organic surfaces. This class will explore methods for modeling complex shapes in a simple, efficient, and direct workflow by taking advantage of T-Splines geometry. This approach is useful for concept development in product design, where designers and engineers can take advantage of CAD software to explore potential shapes for attractive and dynamic consumer products.

This intermediate class will discuss the new physical based materials [we call �Prism',] found in the cloud-rendering service and Fusion 360. We will discuss this new initiative and then take a peek into some future looking initiatives. The class will also discuss the basic material types available, how they are used and why they help achieve photorealistic design visualizations. The attendees will understand the requirements of texture creation/preparation and what makes a �good material'. They will also learn how to fully take advantage of the material models and rendering tools in the Fusion 360 app and in the Autodesk 360 cloud-computing platform.

The Fusion 360 Drawings Team has implemented a lot of new and exciting functionality this year. This class aims to provide an overview of current capabilities: multisheet sheet metal, faster dimensioning, and smart templates, as well as a sneak peek into what the Fusion 360 Drawings Team is working on. We will cover this through a series of demonstrations that create shop drawings ready for manufacture. After attending, users will be able to apply what they've seen to get more from their Fusion 360 software.

Drawings in Fusion 360 software has implemented a lot of new and exciting functionality this year. This class aims to introduce the newer capabilities—such as title blocks and templates, component versus body distinction, and multiasset documentation—to those who need more than the out-of-the-box solution. We will cover this through a series of demonstrations using real-world title blocks and templates, dimensions, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to create shop drawings ready for manufacture. With this, users will be able to apply what they’ve seen to get more out of their drawings in Fusion 360 software, and create drawings that are thorough, accurate, and tailored to their needs. This session features Fusion 360.

This class will cover the story and the key technicalities of My Home Experience, an ambitious project that is replacing “normal” decorated apartments by customizable virtual reality (VR) ones all across Brazil. We will start by showing off how a partnership between IM Designs and MRV is helping change the way people experience their dream homes. We’ll then dive into how to prepare your data set to fit your immersive technology (XR) hardware. For that, we’ll show how we solved performance and hardware limitation issues while achieving incredibly realistic looks through a series of optimization techniques in 3ds Max software, and we’ll explain their impact on real-time rendering. You’ll gain info about light baking, UVs, retopology, RTT for baking AO, normals, and more. On the hardware side, we’ll see how those techniques affect your GPU, CPU, and memory, and how to profile them to boost rendering performance. We’ll then finish by showing off the final implementation in untethered VR, and its challenges. We hope everyone learns a lot from our case.

Vault product data management (PDM) software helps designers and engineers better organise design data, enhance documentation management, and streamline revision processes of their product data. Product data is not exclusively used by development teams, but should also be available outside the engineering department. On the other hand, the engineers require data from upstream processes such as sales orders and specifications. And that's where a product lifecycle management (PLM) system like Fusion Lifecycle software comes into the play. Fusion Lifecycle serves as a company-wide information source for activities before, during, and after development actions, supported by automated processes. In this class, we will have a look at how both worlds (PDM and PLM) can be tied together to streamline the workflows throughout the whole product development cycle.

During Autodesk University 2019, we saw many applications of Autodesk’s generative design features. Most of them shared one common feature: the final model was heavily modified from the generated shape. Adapting the generative design outcome for production and meeting usage requirements—sometimes sophisticated—is the most time-consuming and problematic task. Although this topic raises doubts and ambiguities, it seems to be largely overlooked and insufficiently explained. It's like a bottleneck in a smooth generative-design workflow—like a gap between an excellent generative solver and many established manufacturing methods. We want to bridge this gap and comprehensively address this issue for anyone working with or interested in generative design. By better understanding the solver, knowing the restrictions in manufacturing, and discovering right techniques, you can not only post process an outcome faster, but even generate it smarter to have a production-ready model that meets all expectations!

Who did say we must deal with right angles only? Why place only those boring flat and straight walls in your projects? This lab will guide attendees to explore nonconventional shapes and forms and unusual geometries, and make that stuff to become real and BIM. The scope of the class is understanding the combined use and interoperability between Revit and Fusion 360. Fusion is a software with an incredible potential for the architectural design: why not explore it? The lab will also introduce attendees to setting up a file with Fusion 360, the main modeling techniques, and the best set of file formats inside a BIM process. The "sculpt" environment will then be used as well as traditional solid modeling techniques and methods. Attendees will be guided to model a complex and unusual set of architectural shapes, taking as reference the Deconstructivism architecture style. These shapes will then be used inside Revit to continue the BIM authoring process and take advantage of the parametric engine.

Autodesk has historically developed software and provided consulting services for metal additively manufactured (AM) lattice-type structures. Common powder-bed processes include SLM (Selective Laser Melting) / DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering), and EBM (Electron Beam Melting). When considering real-life applications of these structures, many assumptions are made about the characteristics of the manufactured material. Among others, these include strength, elastic moduli, thermal properties, material density, surface finish, and structural stability. These characteristics are affected by many factors, including machine parameters, build orientation, and feature size. This session features Autodesk Explicit Solver, Nastran, Netfabb, Within.
