A platform to enable engineers and material suppliers to share information is presented, resulting in better design decisions and improved material inventory management.

"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 will demonstrate how a user can take their existing CAD data and move it into Stingray and convert it to VR. We will discuss the implications of performance do to different aspects of a model and how one might improve a models performance.

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.

Learn to use Level of Detail (LOD) Representations to aid in the performance of your assemblies and managing how the model is presented.

In this class, we will:
Briefly Introduce Forge and Unity
Create a new Unity project
Initialize Forge to be used in Unity
Create a small template project to use as a basis
Use Forge for a specific usecase, such as visualizing a Revit Dataset in Unity
Specify best practices and caveats when using Forge + Unity

NOTE: This class will be an extension of the well received 30 Minute Forge DevCon class that I did with Galia Traub last year.... It will include further details, deeper explanations, and new examples,

The summary of the class largely remains the same:

What I wish I knew when I first developed an app using APIs getting the architecture of your app right is important and if you are building an app that consumes APIs this is can be even more critical. By using techniques to separate out the code that connects to the API from what matters most your business logic you can easily build testability, resiliency, and flexibility around the API you consume while keeping your business logic free from API changes. You will leave this talk with examples of why this separation is important, specific examples of patterns to use, and what to anticipate could go wrong when good patterns are not used.
