Featured class: Mechanical design and the cloud

So you’re a mechanical designer, or a mechanical engineer, and you work in the cloud.  (Or, if you’re still thinking about it, check out these 6 reasons to leap into the cloud. Then check back with us.) You know the cloud is a great way to leverage computing power, access your work from anywhere, and collaborate more easily, all without breaking the bank. But do you know exactly how to get optimal design at the lowest cost? And what about security—is it safe to put all your data in the cloud?

Well, worry no more. Check out this great mechanical engineering class for answers to all your questions and more. Let presenters Tosh Tambe and Garin Gardiner show you how to use Fusion 360, Autodesk’s cloud-based SaaS offering built on a secure, scalable, and enterprise-grade Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.

Garin is a longtime senior business development manager at Autodesk and Tosh promotes strategic partnerships in design engineering and high performance computing for Amazon Web Services. Tosh also spent 11 years as a developer at Autodesk. So yeah, they know their stuff.

In this class, they’ll show you how to leverage the power of AWS to scale capacity to your needs and enable global collaboration by moving your data into the cloud. They’ll walk you through it all and give you loads of insider tips and tricks you might not figure out on your own.

They’ll also teach you how to leverage the cloud for using Autodesk Inventor. Yep, that’s right—learn how to deploy a secure virtual private cloud to accelerate iterative design processes and increase your agility and flexibility. And do it all for a lower total cost of ownership. Plus they’ll talk about security concerns (it’s totally safe—don't worry) and show you best practices to accelerate everything you do.

If you’re a mechanical engineer, product designer, or CAD manager interested in the cloud, you don't want to miss this chance to learn from the best.
