Autodesk Showcases its Portfolio for the Convergence of Design and Manufacturing at IMTS 2018
As the boundaries between design and manufacturing continue to blur, it's increasingly crucial for companies to grasp and adapt to the evolving landscape of production. This week, as the massive biennial International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) kicks off in Chicago, Autodesk is highlighting its suite of technologies aimed at helping manufacturers embrace these changes, enabling them to produce more efficiently, enhance their product quality, and achieve greater sustainability with fewer resources.
At our booth (#133222) in the East Building at McCormick Place, visitors will find an array of innovations, including the Lightning Motorcycle's generatively designed swingarm and the WAAMpeller—a hybrid additive and subtractive machined propeller from the Port of Rotterdam’s RAMLAB. These examples showcase how cutting-edge technology can redefine traditional manufacturing practices.
Take, for instance, our generative design capabilities within Fusion 360. This tool empowers manufacturers to accelerate their product development cycles by leveraging AI to generate countless viable design options tailored to specific requirements like strength, weight, materials, and manufacturing methods. Such advancements lead to improved outcomes—lighter, stronger, and more consolidated parts—as exemplified by General Motors' successful implementation of this technology. Simplifying supply chains and reducing assembly costs are additional benefits of consolidating parts.
We'll also unveil our latest developments in CNC machining and additive manufacturing through PowerMill and Netfabb. PowerMill 2019 introduces dedicated additive strategies and simulation tools crafted explicitly to tackle the unique challenges posed by programming hybrid machines. These tools generate secure and efficient toolpaths for directed energy deposition processes using wire-fed or powder-blown hardware. Unlike conventional subtractive approaches, PowerMill offers specialized 3D and 5D programs capable of constructing entire components from scratch. Naturally, PowerMill maintains a comprehensive library of subtractive manufacturing techniques, ensuring essential part features can be CNC machined when necessary. Meanwhile, Netfabb 2019 brings enhancements like multi-scale cloud simulations and automatic support adjustments.
To complete the picture, we're presenting our vision for the cloud-connected 'smart factory' via Fusion Production. Accessible via browser or smartphone app, this software provides real-time insights into production statuses for design, manufacturing, and operational teams, irrespective of location. It facilitates quicker decision-making and action. Automation like sending data directly from PowerMill to Fusion Production streamlines workflows from design and manufacturing to production, minimizing risks of manual errors. This integration fosters a new level of autonomy and reduces direct operator interaction with machinery.
Despite these technological strides, we recognize that software alone cannot fabricate tangible goods. That's why Autodesk is fostering strong partnerships with leading machine-tool manufacturers. By ensuring our software integrates seamlessly with major CNC machines, we empower our customers to focus on what matters most—the actual creation of products—with precision and efficiency. Imagine the most groundbreaking generative designs; without the ability to physically produce them, their potential remains unrealized.
Our collaborations span esteemed CNC manufacturers such as BeAM Machines, C. R. Onsrud, Datron, DMG MORI, DMS, Doosan, Haas, Hardinge, Okuma, and many others.
Wade Anderson, a product specialist sales and tech center manager at Okuma, encapsulated this partnership succinctly:
"Autodesk isn't your typical CAD/CAM software company. It's a vertically integrated manufacturing software provider. Their capacity to offer solutions from initial design stages to programming, quality assurance, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) monitoring enables them to guide a part from concept to completion. Together, Okuma and Autodesk deliver leading-edge technologies empowering our customers to boost productivity, profitability, and take charge of their futures."
