It\u2019s really a game of inches, and I think we are some of the best at making the most out of that space. Fusion helps us to make that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"designing-summit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Designing Summit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of ACLA Studio&#8217;s latest seating projects is Summit, a wide-body, business-class seat developed for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elevate-seats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elevate Aircraft Seating<\/a>, a subsidiary of Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you\u2019re designing a product like Summit, you\u2019re not just designing a seat,\u201d Cleary says. \u201cYou\u2019re designing a sitting space, movie experience, dining experience, a work environment, and even a bedroom. We have to think about all the different ways a passenger will use this space during their flight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space optimization was central to Summit\u2019s development. ACLA Studio sought to give each passenger as much usable room as possible while incorporating a large in-flight entertainment screen, a meal table, wireless charging, and more. The seat also includes storage and a privacy panel that forms an enclosed personal space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Summit-0557-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Summit-0557-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Summit-0557-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Summit-0557-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Summit-0557-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Summit-0557-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Examples of Summit entertainment systems and with privacy panel.

The team explored the idea of placing private, bookable pods inside an aircraft. The concept addresses a practical question: Where can a passenger hold a conversation or join an online meeting when others in the cabin are sleeping and simply not disturb others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fully functional prototype was recently presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aircraftinteriorsexpo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aircraft Interiors Expo<\/a>. Unlike Summit, which is closer to production readiness, the private pod was intended to test interest and help airlines consider how the space might fit in their operations. Although the application is forward-looking, the team deliberately kept the design technically realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s very much grounded in reality,\u201d Carlioz says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ACLA_E-Lounge9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ACLA_E-Lounge9.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ACLA_E-Lounge9-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rendering of private workspace (top) and model in Fusion (below).

It also runs on a Mac, which is a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fusion was critical as the business expanded from two people working on laptops to a studio with approximately six regular Fusion users. Its cloud-based collaboration allows team members to work from a common data environment, while its import and export options help the team exchange information with outside partners using other systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACLA Studio&#8217;s workflow often begins with solid modeling before moving into more advanced surfacing as a product matures. The inspection tools support surface evaluation, while the rendering workspace gives the team a fast way to review designs internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Perch-3-1024x598.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Perch-3-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Perch-3-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Perch-3-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Perch-3-1536x897.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Perch-3.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy of ACLA Studio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe rendering tab is useful as a work tool to look at design internally,\u201d Carlioz says. \u201cIt\u2019s a tool that we can quickly look at a few ideas and it brings a little bit of depth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team supplements Fusion with other software when a specialized task calls for it. For example, Blender may be used for certain mesh-based modeling with Fusion supporting the import and export of mesh data.
