"This class will walk through the process developed by Autodesk with Steelcase to visualize individual product, settings (products grouped together) and co-design of product. This process can provide both standard visuals and virtual reality visuals in multiple locations around the globe simultaneously. This works just like multi gaming where users can interact both with each other as well as with objects/products in the virtual space.

This process can be used to augment the product design process bringing product to market faster with fewer prototypes and less shipping and travel. This process can also be used to assist in complex marketing and selling where complex product needs to be displayed to multiple audiences simultaneously. (Joint AU/Forge DevCon class)."

In the Fusion 360 app, attendees will discover how to use OBJ files produced from photogrammetry to create powerful designs in the Fusion 360 app.

This course will describe the advantages and challenges of using 3D printing for shoe manufacturing. It will include how OESH Shoes is using a special 3D printing process for production manufacturing. Key to the process is a pellet-based extruding 3D printer that is specifically designed for extruding elastomeric materials suitable for shoe components. The printer prints directly from readily available thermoplastic pellets rather than from filament, and enables us to use blowing agents in both chemical and physical form as well as microcellular expanding agents to produce cellular and foamed materials that are particularly suitable for shoe soles. We have a bank of these 3D printers all operating simultaneously, each printer producing its own made-to-order pair of shoes or components. This process enables us to offer a much broader range of styles and sizes than is achievable with traditional manufacturing, and it will enable us to produce customized shoes. This session features Fusion 360.

3D printing has the ability to empower clinicians. This class will focus on the benefits of using or starting a hospital-based 3D design and printing program to help design new training models and assist with improving patient care. This session features Fusion 360.

When the concept itself or the concept designer cannot convey the idea or design to the engineer or manufacturing, it becomes the industrial designer’s job to walk the line between concept and engineering in order to convey the challenging concept to engineering and manufacturing. This class will not only explore personal experiences of a professional industrial designer working between concept and manufacturing, but will also identify key workflows or processes of how the industrial designer can communicate design concepts more effectively through communication techniques with engineering and manufacturing. This class is for anyone who would like to learn or have an understanding of the workflow and thought process of the industrial design industry and learn class-explained techniques and workflows to communicate concept and designs to others.

Taking as an example a real-world case—a dam discharge tunnel—this class will show how to handle a model that originated from digital scan, taking it toward a model that is at the same time simple, but keeping the relevant features. We will explain the workflow of turning the complex surface model into point clouds and simplified surfaces, and then generate a Simulation-friendly model—all using a wide range of Autodesk, Inc., products (like AutoCAD Civil 3D software, ReCap software, Inventor software, Remake software, and Fusion 360 software). Having the final model, we will explain how to set it up in Autodesk CFD software using the latest features of Autodesk CFD 2017 software—especially Hydrostatic Pressure—showing how it works and generates accurate results predicting the flow in and around the tunnel. Results derived from simulations are used for the design of the tunnel entrance to maximize the efficiency of the discharge, and to avoid problematic effects like cavitation. A representative of the EP customer that commissioned the project will be joining as a co-presenter. This session features CFD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and Fusion 360. AIA Approved

We all know about encountering technological problems when dealing with change in CAD/BIM use. There's plenty to read and a lot written about it. Why? Because it's relatively straightforward: How much does it cost? What computer to buy? How much RAM to get? Which program to use? What size network to deploy? There are answers to all these questions, as they're easy to answer. But when it comes to the people problems, whatever your involvement, it all gets a bit difficult. No straightforward answers, lots of pitfalls to fall in (I've been there), everything's complex, interwoven, and multi-layered: Which 2 people are the same? How you can you start to address this? I haven't discovered a 'cure-all', but I have been using the next best thing: SCARF. Built upon the latest brain scanning research from around the world, SCARF addresses the human fundamentals of why change can fail and can help produce productive answers from your change problems, whether you’re creating change or being changed. Come along to find out what neuroscience and neuroleadership are and how Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness (SCARF) can oil the changes in your CAD/BIM use, or any other change process. Whether you are at the top, the bottom, or somewhere in between, this session will give you a common language to discuss the answers to your change problems.

Discover how real-time game engine technology can help you to develop rapid workflows for real-time visualization, enabling you to iterate your designs more swiftly and efficiently. In this class you will learn how to use Autodesk, Inc.'s, BitSquid real-time engine to interactively explore and communicate your design intent. Your experience will be far more compelling and understandable when you use a real-time engine to switch between variations of interior designs, or when you use it to experience the build-up process of a bridge, an oil rig, or a hotel. In this class you'll learn how to set up your construction data inside of 3ds Max software in order to create a data set that can be explored and lit directly in the game engine. To underline the power of using BitSquid engine for real-time visualization, we will use a data set to simulate evacuation procedures in case of catastrophic events such as fire or explosion.

As additive manufacturing (AM) gains greater industrial exposure, there's a drive toward defining practical, high-value processes and products. Defining viable business cases is critical to ensure successful technology adoption. Focusing on the marine industry and using a "propeller" as a familiar marine object for a case study, we'll explore 4 different design/manufacturing iterations aimed at highlighting the opportunities that AM offers. By fabricating these 4 components with wire and arc additive, a considerable portion of the process chain will be revealed from both hardware and software perspectives. We'll be exploring the designs and investigating design features facilitated by AM; looking at preparing these components for manufacture; seeing how these components are built considering the distortion and stress, geometric fidelity, and thermal management; and, finally, looking at post-processing techniques to bring these components to final form.

This class will be an overview of how managing production within the Autodesk manufacturing ecosystem lets seamless workflows and real-time insight into production status. We will demonstrate a workflow- starting in design within Autodesk CAD Solutions, moving to programming with Autodesk CAM Solutions, demonstrating production tracking and quality assurance in Fusion 360 Production, and showing how production data can be fed back into design and programming to increase overall production speed and efficiency. These clear communication channels can dramatically reduce the amount of overhead that job shops need to manage by presenting the right information to the right people at the right time. This is the benefit of operating within the Autodesk network.
