Cheetah Solver for Autodesk AutoCAD is a plugin that replaces the built-in parametric of AutoCAD with the enhanced parametric technology developed by Cloud Invent to enable much more efficient sketching, design modification and motion simulation. Cheetah Solver is a robust and powerful parametric tool that boosts user productivity and lowers engineering costs and errors. Cloud […]
If you draw it, can you print it?
by Jean Thilmany, Contributing Editor 3D printing enables you to reduce part weight, raw material used and cut total energy used in production. But to truly take advantage of 3D printing, engineers need updated, intuitive, easy-to-learn CAD tools. To keep pace with advances in 3D printing, CAD technology must move into the cloud, become easier […]
Autodesk Fusion 360 uses the cloud to facilitate collaboration, add upgrades
by Diane Sofranec, Contributing Editor Your photos, music and movies are stored on the cloud, so why not your CAD designs, too? Autodesk’s Fusion 360 is a cloud-based mechanical CAD solution. Officially released at Autodesk University in 2012, Fusion 360 was launched in 2009 through Autodesk Labs as Inventor Fusion. But it’s not software you […]
New Technologies Ushering in the Maker Movement
by Barb Schmitz, Senior Editor Over the past several years, there’s been a confluence of new technologies that have given birth to a trend referred to as the “maker” movement, or the democratization of design. Members of this movement, the so-called “makers,” are people who can conceive, design and build products, with a healthy assist […]
How Engineers are Collaborating Today
By Barb Schmitz, Senior Editor The highly dispersed and globalized nature of product development has drastically changed the way products are developed. It has also dramatically increased the need for effective and safe ways to collaborate on product designs from the earliest concept phases through to final detailed design. Product design and development today is […]
Autodesk Ships Integrated CAM Package For Inventor
There has been a real need in the manufacturing industry among users to have a tightly integrated CAM package that works hand in hand with users’ CAD systems. Users wanted CAM functionality but didn’t want to learn a whole new tool. Today, Autodesk announces that Inventor users now have such a package. Autodesk got to […]
Autodesk Releases 2015 Design Suites
This week Autodesk rolled out its new Autodesk 2015 Design Suites. What’s new? This release is said to be more tightly integrated with Autodesk cloud services, facilitating users’ ability to collaborate, simulate, analyze–all with just one click from within the suite. The company reports that the 2015 Design Suite includes the most advanced AutoCAD yet, […]
Autodesk Partners with FOX Sports on Wind Simulation for Super Bowl Broadcast
To give fans an idea of how tough the conditions will be on the field for this year’s Super Bowl on Sunday, FOX Sports has partnered with Autodesk to use simulation software to calculate possibly adverse weather conditions–specifically wind–inside MetLife Stadium during the big game. The New Jersey Meadowlands, home of MetLife Stadium, has long […]
Autodesk Goes with the Flow, Releases New Simulation Tool
It wasn’t too long ago that simulation was viewed as a complex technology, best left to so-called “experts” or analysts with extensive experience. Product manufacturers, however, are increasingly incorporating simulation into their product development cycles to speed the development of products and get them to market faster. Digitally simulating product designs speeds development time by […]
CAD Goes Social
Are engineering software developers pushing the collaboration envelope so that distributed users can edit complex 3D models at the same time? Ever since the advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web, many CAD/CAE/CAM companies have been trying to leverage online technologies so users in distributed environments can “get more social” to improve their […]
