A small detail that I personally love, as it just shows the hustle to get going, coupled with consideration for others!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is TEN TECH today, and what do they do or make?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is essentially \u201cyes\u201d as their work has touched a plethora of things, quietly working in the background, that keep our lives going and comfortable, from medical technologies like heart valves to windmills for green energy, through to defense contracts too. As I said, TEN TECH works on so many things for so many industries, chances are their products has touched your life and you had no idea!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12748\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/FUSION-1024x715.png\" alt=\"TEN TECH LLC\" width=\"600\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/FUSION-1024x715.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/FUSION-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/FUSION-768x536.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/FUSION.png 1463w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TEN TECH is a small company comprised of mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and 1 civil engineer, which enables them to produce a really fantastic varied outlook and view toward the projects they take on. This isn\u2019t a group that formed straight out of college either, these are experts, who\u2019ve worked on a lot, seen a lot, and know what works and doesn\u2019t, without the fear or anxiety to try something new &#8211; therein lies their value to their customers: a balance of experience, and the willingness to try new things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TEN TECH<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> first came to our attention with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tentechllc.com\/blog\/news_files\/autodesk-fusion360.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog post they wrote themselves<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, talking about how they\u2019re now using Fusion 360, which came as a pleasant surprise to us. It\u2019s not every day that you see a company with such an intense workload, producing such high spec products, take the time to tell the world about adopting a new CAD package, so we had to hit them up and hear all about it. Unfortunately, getting the full story from a company like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TEN TECH<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a bit of a challenge, considering the nature of their work, we can\u2019t really get into the specifics of what they\u2019re designing, but we did learn a lot about <\/span><b><i>why<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they chose Fusion 360!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">William tells me they started using Fusion 360 in October 2019, in connection with a UAV project and everyone felt at ease with the software from day one, already being proficient with a suite of other MCAD tools, Fusion 360 felt very easy to pick up, with just a few things taking more than 24 hours (what a short window of measurement to determine proficiency!!) to get comfortable with. The switch to Fusion 360 was driven by a number of things: the growth of the company, access to skills on a global scale, and wanting to get things done faster. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/tentech2.png\" alt=\"ten tech llc\" width=\"600\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/tentech2.png 800w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/tentech2-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/tentech2-768x615.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What excites us personally is that this shows how things have evolved over time in manufacturing: the embrace of easy to use and deploy, cloud technologies are here to stay, and everyone is seeing the benefits. According to William \u201cby shifting to Fusion 360, with a centralized cloud-stored dataset, we\u2019re able to open up projects and expand the number of individuals working on any project in an ad-hoc fashion, bringing in the special skills and knowledge required to help develop these highly specialized projects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is particularly exciting to us is how TEN TECH\u2019s technologies are used in UAV sensor systems. Anything connected to defense requires an extreme level of rigor, design, engineering, and security; Ten Tech saw the vision we have with Fusion 360 and understood the extreme value of what they were doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">William added,\u00a0 \u201cDeployment to our Sensors Design Team, distributed across our LA and Nashua offices, took minutes, and the whole team was up to speed and designing UAS rugged sensors and subsystems within hours, mixing and matching legacy CAD models and supplier data with ease while designing natively around it.\u201d\u00a0 What a great testament to the power of global, cloud-based collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can\u2019t wait to see what they do next!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want to see what collaboration can do for you?\u00a0 Fusion 360 team participant allows all your team to access the data without a full Fusion 360 subscription.\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/collaborator\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try it out today.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/free-trial\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9421 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Downloadfreetrial-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Downloadfreetrial-3.png 315w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Downloadfreetrial-3-300x44.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collaboration is key for TEN TECH LLC Engineering Services.
