Autodesk makes software for people who make things. If you've ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film, chances are you've experienced what millions of Autodesk customers are doing with our software. Autodesk gives you the power to make anything. For more information visit autodesk.com or follow @autodesk. By empowering the imagination, design, and making of towering skyscrapers, high-performance cars, and great films, Autodesk supports three industries:
As diverse as this might sound, it's not as strange as it might seem as these industries are starting to converge. For example, people who construct buildings are beginning to work more like traditional manufacturers by prefabricating components of buildings (e.g., trusses) in environmentally controlled warehouses and then assembling the parts onsite. Even though buildings are often one-of-a-kind, many of the parts that make them up are not. And oddly enough, manufacturers are acting more like architects in that one-of-a-kind products (i.e., bespoke creations) are now possible with technologies like 3D printing. Both AEC and manufacturers rely more and more on M&E technologies like video, virtual reality, and augmented reality. In many cases, Autodesk brings what it learns from one industry to the other two. To make the game playing experience more real, game companies are starting to use the same reality capture technology used for scanning construction as-builts — just like general contractors. The Autodesk Gallery at One Market in San Francisco celebrates design — the process of taking a great idea and turning it into a reality. With about 60 different exhibits regularly on display that showcase the innovative work of Autodesk customers, the gallery illustrates the role technology plays in great design and engineering. There are a few gallery exhibits that touch on the convergence of the industries that Autodesk serves.
Thanks to Autodesk Gallery Exhibit Designer, Paula Berggren (see blog post), who suggested the topic for this blog article. Autodesk has always been an automation company, and today more than ever that means helping people make more things, better things, with less; more and better in terms of increasing efficiency, performance, quality, and innovation; less in terms of time, resources, and negative impacts (e.g., social, environmental). When one industry learns from the practices of another, that helps all involved. Convergence is alive in the lab. Go to the original post... |
