India annually produces 01 million tech graduates, but many are considered unemployable due to a lack of skills in comparison to their academic knowledge. Integration of design and making skills can solve this problem with tools like Fusion 360, which is freely available to schools. Fusion 360 synergizes design and manufacturing, enabling students to bring their creative ideas to fruition. However, a heavy content-based curriculum in graduation limits this integration. Established in 2014 at MNIT Jaipur, Autodesk CAM Society is a student-driven club dedicated to teaching and learning manufacturing technology beyond the scope of the curriculum. Their goal is to enhance design & manufacturing skills at an early stage. In one decade, the Society has helped thousands of graduates not only with placement in core companies but also with startups, patent filing, publishing research papers, and winning student competitions. In this session learn more about the tactics and accomplishments to help graduates to enhance their skills and be more employable.

Revit software's MEP Analysis has seen significant advancements in recent releases. However, given the multitude of options available for model generation, it remains a challenge to ensure consistency and efficiency when producing a model that can be used for analysis. This presentation will present a data-driven workflow to efficiently generate a building while providing sufficient detail for room-by-room load calculations and accommodating the ever-present possibility of changes during the design phase of a project. By using powerful Revit tools like schedules, views, and families, the likelihood of generating a clean model is greatly improved. Potential workflows include starting from a 3D model or a 2D plotted or scanned PDF.

Generative design is often seen as an alien parts generator. In this session, we will share how we incorporated this design exploration method into our traditional design process, and how we applied the method on a very typical welded parts assembly of an automatic tools changer on a CNC machine tool. With no specific expectations, as we believed it was already fully optimized, we achieved almost 20% of mass reduction, positively impacting the overall machine precision. And as a side benefit—we got really good-looking parts. You'll learn which selection method we used to identify potential parts for generative design and how we defined the success criteria. We'll cover the whole process, from multiple designs exploration up to production and installation itself. We'll also discuss our generative design rollout plan.

Learn how to save time and reduce frustration the next time you use Autodesk Fusion 360. Several years back, the speaker jumped into Fusion 360 to support some of his various hobbies and to use its excellent simulation tools. He'd been using Inventor software since it first came out, and assumed that Fusion 360 would work the same way—just in the cloud. Many false starts later, he finally realized that Fusion 360 is not just a new version of Inventor, and that when he tried to force it to run like Inventor, he was causing problems. Eventually, he learned the flow of Fusion 360, and has been enjoying it ever since. If you are well experienced in other 3D solids modeling tools, such as Inventor, come learn Fusion 360 software's workflow, its similarities, and its differences. Understand how to choose between Inventor and Fusion 360, and how the two systems can work together. Learn how to survive and prosper without assembly constraints. Understand bodies and components. See how the cloud storage can be organized.

Generative design is used as an optimization technique to achieve a reasonable trade-off between weight and reliability for the control arm plate of a double wishbone suspension assembly of a Formula Student race car. Generative design is applied in order to develop a low-weight design alternative to a standard control-arm-plate design. In addition to an optimal material distribution, the generative design methodology provides several design outcomes for different materials and fabrication techniques. Based on the generative design recommendation, the print was developed with Ti-6Al-4V using SLM 280 2.0, which deposits layers of 60 ?m thickness, by employing a bidirectional powder recoating technology. The entire printing process is conducted in an inert atmosphere, filled with argon gas, with two 400 W IPG fiber lasers that scan the layers at a build rate of 113 cubic cm/hr. And the support removal is conducted using wire cutting.
