Circular by Design: Computational Design for Regenerative Economies

This roundtable discussion will explore the power of computational design in promoting sustainable development. We'll provide practical knowledge of the tools and techniques used to implement circular design principles, and we'll evaluate the ethical and social implications of using data analytics and modeling to evaluate the environmental impact of design decisions. This topic highlights the importance of resource conservation and regeneration and promotes a more sustainable future. The concept of the circular economy has gained momentum in recent years as a more sustainable and efficient model for resource use. In this context, computational design has emerged as a key enabler of the circular economy by optimizing material usage and reducing waste.

Design, Simulate, and Prototype: The AU Factory Experience

Before attending this class, we recommend visiting and participating in the Autodesk Factory Experience on the exhibition floor. Prototyping while developing a new product design is critical to ensure delivery of higher-quality parts to market. This step in the product design cycle is, however, typically time-consuming and costly through iterating and purchasing/making individual parts. This is why many product designers have already turned primarily to digital prototyping rather than physical prototyping, so they can ensure on-time product delivery that doesn't break the bank. This class will focus on how you can utilize Fusion 360 and its extensions for digital prototyping, focusing on an Autodesk Factory assembly product. Consumer electronics is a fast-moving segment, where time and collaboration is critical to be ahead of the competition. We'll demonstrate how to effectively experiment with product design alternatives, collaborate with key project stakeholders, test layouts for PCB, simulate structural and manufacturing aspects, and render final product previews, all within Fusion 360.

Beyond Fusion: Developing Collaborative Soft Skills

The way we work on collaborative projects is changing, especially with cloud-based platforms and software like Fusion software. But beyond the software, successful collaboration relies on a portfolio of soft skills that contribute to improved efficiency, increased collaboration, leadership development, and improved project quality. This session will discuss the most important soft skills required for good collaboration, as well as outline practical development tips and tricks to help you empower your workforce to take collaboration to the next level.

Get Good at Generative: Generative Design Success

In the right hands, generative design in Fusion 360 has enormous capability to radically transform and improve your design process, using the power of intelligent algorithms to create complex, high performing designs in a fraction of the time it would take manually. To get there however, you need to learn to speak the language of generative design, understand how it works, when to use it, and to master some of the techniques and tools which are unique to this design process. In this hands on lab, we'll equip with a variety of practical tools and techniques you can use to get better results from generative design whether you're just starting out, or further along on your journey. We'll delve into some of the lesser used features that can have a huge impact on the quality of your final outcome and take your designs from good to great. Throughout, we'll focus on demonstrating these tools on a variety of relevant applications from a variety of different industries, so that you can have a better idea of where and how you can apply generative design to your own work.

Carbon Is the Culprit: Uncovering Manufacturing Sustainability Insights

Since 80% of carbon is already locked into a product by the decisions made at the design phase, making good design and manufacturing choices is key to producing products with lower carbon impact. However, today, designers and engineers lack the data and tools to inform their design and manufacturing decisions, all while new and upcoming regulations are forcing designers and manufacturers to produce their products in more-sustainable ways. To tackle this issue, this talk will introduce Autodesk's new Manufacturing Sustainability Insights tool. Created in partnership with Gravity Climate, this interactive manufacturing-impact exploration tool for Autodesk Fusion 360 will provide users with valuable insights into the carbon emissions associated with producing their designs via various manufacturing methods, enabling users to make better informed decisions that support sustainable manufacturing practices, resulting in better products for the planet.
