Another amazing Autodesk University is behind us. I hope those of you that attended enjoyed your time and have fully recuperated. If you didn\u2019t, here a few highlights from last week that you\u2019ll want to go back and review.

Any CAD<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AnyCAD provides the ability to link to vendor, contractor and customer data, negating the translation of their data into Fusion 360. For example, you can use Fusion 360\u2019s AnyCAD to reference a SolidWorks part designed by a contractor. Once the file is in Fusion 360, there is a link feature in the timeline.\u00a0Learn more here<\/a>.

The Factory Powered by Fusion 360<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Well, we said that this was going to be the hottest giveaway at AU and that was no lie. After 3 days of walking people through the Product Innovation Platform along with Fusion Production to make portable speakers, nearly 300 speakers were designed, cut, soldered, injected, assembled and enjoyed. Don\u2019t worry if you didn\u2019t get one. We\u2019re working to make some kits available soon, so make sure you\u2019re subscribed to the blog for further details. Last but not least, thanks to all our sponsors Haas Automation, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0DATRON Dynamics, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0OpenBOM by Newman Cloud Inc<\/a>\u00a0OMAX Corporation<\/a>\u00a0Universal Laser Systems<\/a>\u00a0Pocket NC<\/a>Proto Labs<\/a>\u00a0Printrbot<\/a>\u00a0CNCRouterParts<\/a>\u00a0Other Machine Co.<\/a>\u00a0Dell<\/a>

Design Slam<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The design slam was back in 2017 and in a very big way! This year the design slam was themed after HP:Mars Home Planet<\/a> project (blog post coming next week). Each of the contestants modeled products that would be integral to habitation on the red planet. If you missed the live stream<\/a> on our Facebook pages, we\u2019re working on editing a video for release later in December.

Fusion 360 Live @ AU<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At every AU we try something new. This year we tested out live streaming various classes & events. From the response we’ve received thus far, it\u2019s very likely that we\u2019ll be doing more of these in the future. You can catch the recording of these below:
