Autodesk now has Fusion 360 Manage Extension, Upchain, Fusion 360 Manage, and Vault PLM (Fusion 360 Manage connected to Vault). You know PLM could benefit your organization, but don’t know where to start. We have helped many customers navigate the options they have and identify which PLM solution would benefit them the most, we can help you too.

Technology is transforming every aspect of our lives. 79% of companies say their future growth depends on digital tools but 2 in 3 are struggling to find the skilled workers they need. All of this is placing considerable pressure on educators to adapt their education programs to meet these needs. In this panel session, a group of educators leading the charge will share how they are reimagining their education programs to meet the needs of the future workforce. From secondary schools to vocational training programs to higher education, this session will showcase best practices and success stories from those who are breaking boundaries and transforming design, engineering and manufacturing education with Fusion 360. This session is a must-attend for educators who want to learn how to prepare their students for the future of work along with an unmissable opportunity for industry attendees to see how the leading minds in education are rising to the challenge.

Machining dynamics models may be used to predict milling performance and select optimal parameters at the computer numerical control (CNC) path planning stage. The intent is to select parameters that enable first part correct performance and avoid trial-and-error parameter identification. This requires that chatter, or self-excited vibration, does not occur, and that acceptable accuracy and surface finish are achieved. This session will demonstrate dynamic force prediction for Autodesk Fusion toolpaths, which incorporates the tool tip vibration response to predict the dynamic cutting force and tool vibration and the effect of relative vibration between the cutting tool and workpiece on the milling stability. This enables us to identify and correct locations where chatter occurs before part production. It introduces a feed rate optimization capability that modifies cutting times by updating the feed rate. And it has been shown to reduce cycle times by up to 50%. We’ll select an aerospace part and show results.

At Avnet, our mission is to accelerate the adoption and seamless supply of new technologies.
