Description
For EFCO's team of 250 engineers, moving design data across AutoCAD, Inventor, and Revit software meant constant rework, misaligned models, lost parameters, and no path to incremental updates. By adopting Data Exchange, EFCO built a consistent, update-aware pipeline that scales reliably across the firm's full team. But the real power of this story extends beyond EFCO: Its workflow is a blueprint for any industry where manufacturing and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams must collaborate across domains. You'll leave this session with practical techniques for modernizing multitool workflows and a model for enabling seamless cross-domain collaboration, from design to construction.
