    Description

    Disconnected workflows between 2D design, 3D modeling, and manufacturing often lead to delays and reduced productivity. This session will demonstrate how to connect AutoCAD, Inventor, and Autodesk Fusion software into a seamless design-to-manufacturing workflow, supported by cloud platforms like Autodesk Desktop Connector for data management and collaboration. Learn how to transform 2D drawings into parametric models and generate computer numerical control (CNC) toolpaths while maintaining data continuity. Through real-world examples, discover how connected workflows reduce errors, minimize rework, and accelerate delivery from design to production.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to convert 2D AutoCAD designs into accurate 3D models in Inventor using associative workflows.
    • Learn how to link Inventor and Autodesk Fusion models using Autodesk Desktop connector for cloud-based collaboration.
    • Learn how to generate toolpaths in Autodesk Fusion for Inventor designs to enable efficient and accurate manufacturing workflows.
    • Learn how to validate design-to-manufacturing workflows by generating G-code and ensuring production accuracy.
