3D modelling is the process of using computer-aided design software to develop a virtual mathematical representation or design of a desired object or part.

For decades, AutoCAD has served you and your team well. And, as the software has gotten better over time, so have you. So why would you consider a change?

Manufacturers around the world are undergoing digital transformations so they can stay competitive in the area of large-scale industrial machinery – and so far, the results have been encouraging. By going against the norm in a hugely traditional industry, manufacturers have been seeing decreased unnecessary costs and increased revenues.

The requirement for more autonomy in design and in the development process needs a unique modelling approach. You can learn how to easily incorporate design adjustments, get more from your models and reuse your current design data by modelling in parametric 3D.

Example export from Inventor. Includes screenshots that shows "Inventor Titleblock uses Multi-line Attributes", "Titleblock in AutoCAD, all attributes are Multi-line", "Editing the Titleblock and opening the Visual LISP Editor found on the Manage Tab, then run vl-load-com", "Copying pasting the script", "running the command" and "running ATTSYNC".

Being well into the year, it’s now easier for industry experts to predict the trends that will dominate the manufacturing industry this year and beyond. To stay ahead of competitors, manufacturers must be aware, embrace change, be prepared and leverage all the important transformations that will lead their industry in the coming decade. The coming changes are set to restructure businesses and the modern society.

With Construction and Manufacturing converging, the collaboration in design between Architects, Builders, Manufacturers and Fabricators have become more important than ever. In this article we explore the link between Autodesk Revit and Inventor to show how models and drawings can work together from the two systems.

Vault 2020 features an enhanced user experience, wider administrative controls, and extended project collaboration along with design re-use capabilities and optimised documentation, which helps to focus on value-added work and increased productivity.

Over the course of 3.5 million years – we’ve created tools that have helped us create our world. While those tools have allowed us to do more and made more things possible, they’ve not only defined our aesthetic but also limited our imagination – until Generative Design was introduced.
