Autodesk Introduces Portfolio for the Future of Manufacturing
At IMTS 2016, Company Brings Together Autodesk, Delcam, HSM, Netfabb, Pan Computing and Magestic Systems for Complete Set of
Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing Solutions
With the world of manufacturing undergoing major disruptions brought on by new market forces and technologies, Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) unveiled its portfolio of solutions for additive and subtractive manufacturing. The
portfolio lets manufacturers take advantage of technology disruptions and improve competitiveness by creating higher quality
products in less time with lower costs.
The new solution brings together industry-leading products historically offered from Autodesk, Delcam, Netfabb, Pan Computing
and Magestic Systems—including HSMWorks, Inventor HSM, Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, PowerMill, PartMaker (now included in FeatureCAM), PowerShape, PowerInspect and Netfabb—into one complete set of hybrid manufacturing solutions.
“Autodesk has long been a leader and innovator in 3D design, engineering and the technologies that expand the applications of
industrial 3D printing, but we appreciate that no product is really complete until it’s realized through physical manufacture,”
said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president of products at Autodesk. “We’ve also become a leader in technologies that expand the
applications of industrial 3D printing. Now, we’re truly integrating the design, make and use phases of product development. This
new set of solutions goes big on the ‘make’ component—equipping manufacturers with all the software they need to go from digital
design to real-world product.”
Unveiled at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2016), the portfolio spans computer aided manufacturing (CAM),
additive manufacturing, composites, robotics fabrication, factory layout, inspection and modeling. It enables customers to solve
complex manufacturing challenges and seamlessly connect design to machining.
Within the portfolio offerings are cloud-connected capabilities designed to help users experience the benefits of a more
cohesive manufacturing workflow and invest more time in product development. Cloud-capabilities give customers improved support for
global manufacturing operations with universal access to software and data, and the cloud also enables fast and frequent software
upgrades.
What’s in the Autodesk manufacturing portfolio?
- Autodesk HSMWorks: A fully integrated CAM solution for SOLIDWORKS, allowing users to get up to speed
and become productive within minutes using familiar tools and workflows.
- Autodesk Inventor HSM: Helps CNC programmers, designers and engineers rapidly produce machined parts
designed in virtually any CAD system.
-
Autodesk 2017 CAM Products: With offerings for a multitude of advanced manufacturing applications,
these new products combine the heritage of industry leadership in CAM software from Delcam with Autodesk’s 3D design and
manufacturing prowess. Solutions include FeatureCAM for automating CNC programming; PartMaker for precision part
manufacturing with Swiss-type lathes; PowerMill for programming the most complex molds, dies and other
components; PowerShape for preparing complex models for manufacture; and PowerInspect for inspection in
every environment.
- Autodesk Netfabb: All the software you need to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve part
performance in additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
- Fusion 360: The centerpiece of Autodesk’s cloud-based product innovation platform, Fusion 360
combines CAD, CAM and CAE in a single package. It allows users to take their designs all the way to production with included 3D
printing capabilities as well as HSM powered toolpath technology for 2 through 5 axis milling machines, turning centers and
waterjets.
“Not only is the Netfabb bundle easy to use, it also does much of the heavy lifting in preparing models for 3D printing,” said
Dan Ko, strategic initiatives lead at Shapeways. “The software streamlines the process of fixing common 3D print file problems and
if we didn’t have it to automate a large portion of file preparation process, each build would be substantially more time consuming
and labor intensive.”
“This new integrated portfolio from Autodesk brings together technology Autodesk has been growing and investing in across the
full manufacturing spectrum,” said Hanspal. “This combination of solutions makes modular and scalable manufacturing solutions
available to manufacturers of all sizes.”
