Thanks
DAS

You are a machine!

As an Autodesk Labs guy, I am fortunate to have contact with all divisions of the company. It's pretty easy to come up with material for It's Alive in the Lab. The blog articles practically write themselves. All I have to do is show up for work and material presents itself. Thanks to all of my teammates who supply me with material.

Prolificiency is alive in the lab.
