"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." Dreamcatcher is Autodesk's amazing and innovative standalone application for Generative Design. With this revolutionary software, we can design products with the influence of nature and the power of computing. These generated designs are something you could only dream about. This instructional demo will cover basics of the Autodesk Dreamcatcher software. We will demonstrate the steps needed to get your data loaded, constraints added and objectives set. After that, we will then show what definitions are required to process the information and how easy and informative it is to view the computed results. Sample parts will be used for the demo and shown for reference.

This class teaches design workflow and optimization for metal parts that requires 3d printing with the example of a conformal cooling mold

Learn how to use high rate additive manufacturing (3D printing) at an industrial scale by exploring the benefits/opportunities of the process. Using a case study, we'll explore four aspects of this: (1) design considerations, (2) manufacturing data preparation, (3) manufacturing keeping in mind geometric fidelity and (4) post processing.

Using Autodesk Within and Netfabb to create and build optimized design for the AM process

Learn how Fusion360 can improve training and design options for a healthcare organization.

Learn how Autodesk products can help to translate CAD to CAM or Art to Part. Learn about additive manufacturing and understand some key differences from subtractive manufacturing.

A hands-on trial of designing a basic part in Fusion 360 and then running it through the new shape optimisation tools.

This is all about innovation! This is a "show and tell" class where we will be inviting you to a special session of our latest tech and R&D. Some of what you will see is real, and some is half baked but we want your feedback, and we want your guidance on where generative design should be going. Come see the future!
