Integration of Textiles in Fusion 360
Have you ever tried to model a t-shirt in 3D CAD?  Probably not. It’s seems simple enough, sure, but go try it. Then come take this AU class. Traditionally, textile design (clothing, apparel, soft goods, etc) represents some of the most complex and intricate cad projects anyone could possibly attempt. First, humans are super difficult to model. Then there’s the actual task of modeling garment layers over top of that model. Finally, when you’re done you’re then rewarded with figuring out what the 3D image actually looks like as a flat pattern. It’s been no wonder that for years textile design has remained analog black magic and digital 3d cad was relegated to nice-to-have visualization exercises.

No more!

In this class Fusion user Bill Dieter uses Fusion 360 to actually design soft goods. Bill is a renowned textile industrial designer based in Portland, Oregon who is the President of Terrazign Inc. His product design firm has created innovative solutions for athletes and astronauts (and everyone else in-between) for the last twenty years. Bill has worked with the Fusion team to develop a technique to design garments which combines Fusion 360’s direct and sculpting tools with tactical use of human scan data converted from Autodesk Remake, flat pattern creation technology using 3rd party flattening tool ExactFlat, and finalizing his physical prototypes with perfectly sized mannequins created with the rapid prototyping tool Autodesk 123D Make. The class will cover several real examples that emphasize both the high level process along with various in product cad tips and tricks which he relies upon.

Mkali’s Mission: Creating a 3D animated sequence remotely during a pandemic

Over the past year, we’ve seen the pandemic change the way studios work and affect how artists collaborate with one another. With remote work becoming the “new normal”, it’s become apparent that sharing a common physical space isn’t always necessary. We decided to put ourselves in the shoes of our customers by setting up a small remote studio to create a 3D sequence called Mkali's Mission, from concept through final render. We set out to create our animated short using each of the tools in the Media & Entertainment Collection – including Maya, 3ds Max, Arnold, and Mudbox – to showcase the breadth and power of the toolset. We also set up a ShoGrid site to track our progress and manage reviews. To bring this project to life, we hired freelance artists from across the globe for modeling, rigging, animation, FX, look development, and rendering. During this session, I’ll take you through each step of our journey, sharing all of the challenges, successes, and learnings along the way.

3D Printing Shoes for Production Manufacturing
This course will describe the advantages and challenges of using 3D printing for shoe manufacturing. It will include how OESH Shoes is using a special 3D printing process for production manufacturing. Key to the process is a pellet-based extruding 3D printer that is specifically designed for extruding elastomeric materials suitable for shoe components. The printer prints directly from readily available thermoplastic pellets rather than from filament, and enables us to use blowing agents in both chemical and physical form as well as microcellular expanding agents to produce cellular and foamed materials that are particularly suitable for shoe soles. We have a bank of these 3D printers all operating simultaneously, each printer producing its own made-to-order pair of shoes or components. This process enables us to offer a much broader range of styles and sizes than is achievable with traditional manufacturing, and it will enable us to produce customized shoes. This session features Fusion 360.

How Model-Based Workflows Counteract Higher Costs and Labor Shortages
Today’s workflows based on PDF, Microsoft Excel, and so on, will not counteract the ongoing trends of increases in costs of goods and labor shortage. On the other hand, current trends in design with highly detailed models and technologies—e.g., building information modeling (BIM) and innovative automation in fabrication—could deliver solutions to these issues. But how can we use all those components in a smooth, reliable, and efficient workflow? In this session, we’ll demonstrate how advanced technology is using model-based workflows that remove the burden of different software applications using old-fashioned interfaces and ever-growing complexity that untrained personal cannot handle. Based on 30+ years of experience in the precast business, there are many benefits that are already in use by customers worldwide, and are ready to be used by those in need.

Reliable Modeling Techniques for Complex Part Design in Inventor
You may wonder: “How do I use Inventor software properly?” Of course—there is no “right” way to use Inventor. It’s a tool just like any other. We can use it for lots of different tasks, and in lots of different ways—all of them correct. Inventor lets us build parametric models—models that can easily change by adjusting the value of a parameter. This is awesome for building models that need to be adjusted in a predictable fashion. The problem with parametric modeling is that we must model in four dimensions. We model in the usual three dimensions, and we must also consider time, or the way our model might change over time. This change over time is often referred to as “design intent.” Building a model that can change in a predictable fashion takes a little thought and some planning. Reliable modeling requires a plan.

Constructive Change: Assembling Revit Models for Data Management Success
One of the biggest challenges faced by firms today is accessing and managing the multitude of model data generated on a project. Each week the team makes adjustments to the model and its information and you hope to capture those changes and understand how they affect various downstream activities. But even in the age of technology, most model changes are performed by old-fashioned page turns, which is too late and already out of date. Can you quickly and easily find changes between versions of a Revit software model? Can you easily coordinate and identify those changes in your Navisworks coordination model? What is the cost of the change you didn't catch? This in-depth session introduces effective practices for managing Revit model changes in coordination with the various software packages you may be be integrating with your Revit model for creating cost estimates, schedules, work breakdown structures, bid packages, and so on. Join us to understand how you can constructively manage for model change.

An Introduction to AutoCAD® Raster Design: Getting the Most from Your Scanned Drawings and Imagery
Good old-fashioned paper drawings have a wealth of information that can complement the lifecycle of a design, and when they are scanned into a digital format, they offer potentially more than any modern data capture method. Image data is pervasive and is more often than not a prerequisite for a project, but how can you make sense of a dirty, warped scanned document? Is it the correct location, and does it have the correct geography? How can you extract intelligence from the image, thus extending the value of this existing information? AutoCAD® Raster Design software helps you to easily clean, edit, enhance, and maintain scanned drawings and plans in a familiar AutoCAD® environment. This class explores the tools that are available with AutoCAD Raster Design and how to get the most from your imagery using powerful raster editing and raster-to-vector conversion tools.
