With growing pressure from consumers and governments, sustainability is no longer a nice to have. As the design phase locks in 80% of environmental impacts, it is crucial to integrate sustainability into the product development process. This session will highlight the importance of eco-design in reducing the overall environmental impact of products and services, and how to apply these principles in Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Premier Tech performed a lifecycle analysis to compare the ecological footprint of the Ecoflo system, an on-site wastewater treatment system, and began applying eco-design principles in a holistic approach to its redesign. The new Ecoflo design is modular, made with recycled content, and supports the circular economy. This session will present how eco-design was integrated into the development of the new Ecoflo product, and how Autodesk tools like Fusion 360 and the Makersite plug-in were maximized to deliver long-lasting positive impacts.

Noel Joyce is a wheelchair user and industrial designer currently teaching design and innovation at NYU. A couple years ago, he decided to get back into mountain biking on a handcycle. However, one of the barriers to entry for most people with disabilities who would like to be involved in sports like adaptive mountain biking is the cost of the equipment and the cost of maintenance. As a result of first-hand experience with both, Joyce started Project Mjolnir, the world's first open-source adaptive mountain bike project. Project Mjolinr's goal is to break down the barriers of entry for anyone to get into the sport by creating a bike based on a modular platform that is infinitely changeable, adaptable, and can be built anywhere. Joyce first started the project at NYU in January 2023, iterating on a previous design. The first of four bikes were developed and designed remotely and assembled at NYU in New York in April 2023. The second bike was built in Abu Dhabi in June 2023. And the final two built in Ireland and Shanghai in the subsequent months. Join Joyce to learn more about the project, the design process, and where it's going next.

Exploring design alternatives is more than just the material used or product produced. It's about the energy and resources consumed to create that product, and finally where that product ends up when it reaches end of life. Exploring not just alternative designs, but also resource and production alternatives, helps to drive better environmental impact. And designing for longevity and, most importantly, reuse of products and materials drive manufacturing toward the net-zero impacts that we need to truly create a sustainable world. Start by exploring how products come to reality and the alternative. And then use tools like Autodesk Fusion 360 to explore manufacturing alternatives and energy consumption that finally lead to creative design for disassembly and reuse.

Generative design is one of the most incredible design and engineering tools available on the market.

In this session, we’ll explore workflows that seamlessly integrate design, engineering, manufacturing, and construction, fostering collaboration and innovation. All of these workflows for industrialized construction empower stakeholders to build smarter, greener, and more resilient structures, meeting the demands of modern urbanization and environmental challenges.

This class will focus on how to make the most of tools you probably already have access to in Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Autodesk Forma to start processing, analyzing, and maximizing drone photogrammetry data to improve your construction processes. Once at scale, many companies will likely opt for a partner product designed especially for this entire workflow. But it's crucial to get buy-in before making this investment. At BL Harbert International, we found that the best way to accomplish this is by providing concrete examples throughout the company of useful applications on our own projects. To achieve that, we've used several tools already at our disposal in AEC Collection and Autodesk Forma. This class will step through a workflow of processing imagery in ReCap Photo, then analyzing in either AutoCAD software or Civil 3D software, and finally sharing with stakeholders and making annotations in BIM 360 software or Forma Build software.
