Description
In this session, you'll learn how to move beyond drawing-based coordination and establish a connected design-to-manufacturing workflow based on data convergence. Through an actual project of a general contractor operating a precast concrete plant, this session will explain how Revit and Inventor software were integrated via Autodesk Forma and Informed Design to enable the convergence of design and manufacturing data. You will see how configurable and reusable manufacturing models are created, and how data can flow consistently from BIM to production. The session will demonstrate how this convergence-driven approach reduced workload by more than 40%, and how it provides practical insights that designers and manufacturing engineers can apply to reduce rework, improve quality, and strengthen cross-team collaboration.
Key Learnings
- Learn about how drawing-based workflows between BIM and manufacturing create rework and data inconsistency issues for precast concrete.
- Learn how to integrate Revit and Inventor using Autodesk Forma and Informed Design to establish connected design-to-manufacturing workflows.
- Learn about building and validating configurable and reusable manufacturing models that enable verification of design intent and constraints.
- Learn about the impact a convergence-driven approach can have on project efficiency by applying metrics from this case (40%+ workload reduction).
