For years, companies have been investing in sustainability initiatives like reduced energy consumption and efficient use of resources. Mostly, sustainability has been directed toward tackling process-caused environmental impacts. However, the focus must shift to a product’s components. Companies need to target sustainability in the design phase, not just in the operational phase. Whenever the design starts, sustainability must be a feature of the product and not an afterthought. Currently, there are 28 million CAD users globally, and an opportunity to capture up to 10Gton of CO2eq per year. In this talk, we’ll discuss how to empower designers to improve the environmental performances of their projects by delivering trusted sustainability insights in the context of their design tools. Find out how the SimaPro API can extract all required information using Fusion Data and Autodesk Forge APIs to calculate the environmental impact and return results to the designer in real time.

Fusion 360 software is a cloud-powered CAD, CAM, and CAE tool, and it is the primary software for the instruction of degree apprentices at the AMRC Training Centre, part of the University of Sheffield. With rising student numbers, it was becoming increasingly difficult to provide detailed and timely feedback to students as they learned the basics of Fusion 360. In this session, Joe Palmer will present a bespoke feedback tool that has been coded in Python and implemented using the Fusion 360 API. This tool provides instantaneous feedback to students about the quality of their CAD models by assessing key model metrics. These metrics enable a complete picture of model quality to be determined by the script without any input from course tutors. This has empowered tutors to spend more time on valuable activities within the classroom. We will discuss a background of the Fusion 360 API, the tool's development process, and details of the scoring algorithm. We will also present a road map for future development.
