IMTS 2022<\/a> is back, bigger than ever before, and \u2014 drum roll \u2014 in person again for the first time in four years! Join us in Chicago at McCormick Place Convention Center September 12-17 for tons of Autodesk Fusion 360 presentations, projects, and events. This is your chance to reconnect with peers, make new connections, hear directly from industry leaders, chat with the Autodesk team, and explore Fusion 360 manufacturing solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over one million square feet of exhibitor space to explore, we know planning your schedule is an overwhelming process. The good news? There’s only one booth name, number, and location you need to memorize: Autodesk Booth #133310, located at Lakeside Center on Level 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All jokes aside, here’s a list of six Fusion 360-related events you won’t want to miss at the event \u2014 from industry talks to cool projects on display.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Stephen Hooper’s Main Stage keynote presentation <\/h2>\n\n\n

The global disruption to the manufacturing industry has forced us to rapidly adjust to new ways of working, disrupted supply chains, and sudden shifts in consumer demand. But it has also created an opportunity to reimagine what\u2019s possible. In this keynote presentation, Stephen Hooper, Vice President of Product Development and Manufacturing Solutions at Autodesk, will share strategies for taking advantage of these opportunities for innovation and digital transformation. He will showcase evolving tools and technologies that can help manufacturers build resilience, improve collaboration, and automate processes, enabling them to thrive through the dramatic changes faced by our industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When: Tuesday, Sept 13 from 9:30-10:00 AM CST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: The IMTS Main Stage outside of the South Hall. Those who can’t attend IMTS can watch Stephen’s talk live on IMTS+<\/a> and on-demand after the event on the same platform.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. 46 Autodesk presentations over 5 days<\/h2>\n\n\n

That’s right, our team will be on-site delivering tons of Fusion 360-specific presentations to you throughout the course of the tradeshow. Topics range, but a few standouts highlight new features in Fusion 360 and where Autodesk is headed. A couple of examples are: “What is the Autodesk Manufacturing Roadmap?” and “Fusion 360 Strategic Investments,” No registration is necessary for any of our theater presentations \u2014 simply show up and learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Haas and Mazak add-ins<\/h2>\n\n\n

Just in time for the largest machine tool conference, we are excited to debut two add-ins we\u2019ve developed with machine tool partners Haas and Mazak. These new add-ins enable our customers to have an instant-on experience when pairing Fusion 360 with their machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Haas Driver

This add-in automatically finds all Haas Milling machines with an NGC Controller in your shop and enables users to quickly build a Fusion 360 machine library that matches your machines. The Haas Driver eliminates the need to maintain a post-processor library. Simply add the machine you want to use to your Fusion 360 setup and send the NC code directly to the machine using the Haas Driver. It\u2019s as easy as sending a document to a printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mazak iConnect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This add-in allows your CAM programmer to export Fusion 360 project files directly to Mazak\u2019s Smooth Project Manager (SPM), enabling machine operators to more accurately simulate cut files and check for errors while calculating machining time.\u00a0Mazak iConnect also establishes a direct connection to any Mazak machine to see whether a machine is running, idle, or offline, allowing your CAM programmer and machine operator to work in unison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When: Check out both add-ins in action throughout the entire event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: Autodesk Booth #133310<\/p>\n\n\n
