What I Learned at Autodesk University 2024 About the Future of Design and Manufacturing 🌟

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending Autodesk University 2024 in San Diego. 🌴 It was a great opportunity to dive deep into Autodesk’s latest advancements in design, manufacturing, and data management—fields I’ve been closely following for many years.

Here are my top takeaways:

1. Connected Data is the Key to Innovation 🔗: Autodesk’s Fusion platform is at the forefront of breaking down data silos and enabling a seamless digital thread throughout the product lifecycle. This connected data approach is crucial for digital transformation and aligns closely with OpenBOM’s mission.

2. Incremental Transformation 📊: Digital transformation isn’t about giant leaps; it’s about continuous, data-driven improvement. Autodesk is building on this idea with its MFG Data Model, expanding its data models and APIs step-by-step.

3. AI and Data Will Shape the Future 🤖📈: Generative AI, digital twins, and connected data will drive innovation in the coming years. Autodesk’s commitment to these technologies is clear and will undoubtedly impact the manufacturing landscape.

Autodesk's strategy of integrating AI, cloud, and desktop tools to create a unified data environment has the potential to reshape how we approach design and manufacturing. I’m excited to see how this vision unfolds. 🚀
