    CP3837 | Design. Optimize. Connect. Build Smarter Products with Autodesk Fusion.
    • Tuesday, Sep 152:00 PM - 3:30 PM PDT
    Have you ever wanted to design a part but weren’t sure how to approach it using the available tools and materials? Would you like to analyze existing products to identify optimizations or potential failures before they occur—or transform current designs into smarter, more capable products? In this hands-on lab, we’ll use Autodesk Fusion to work more effectively across key stages of the product lifecycle—from initial concept to optimization and intelligent enhancement. Using a smart desk lamp as our example, we’ll explore three distinct workflows: designing a manufacturable component from scratch, analyzing and optimizing critical parts, and finally enhancing the product by integrating electronics to create a smarter, connected system.
    Learning Objective 1: Learn how to approach new and existing designs with more confidence, and extend products beyond their original purposes and lives.
    Learning Objective 2: Learn how to use Autodesk Fusion to design parts with guided workflows that ensure they’re ready for manufacturing.
    Learning Objective 3: Learn how to analyze and optimize parts to improve performance, reduce risk, and prevent potential failures early.
    Learning Objective 4: Learn how to enhance and extend a product’s lifespan by integrating electronics into a smarter, more connected system.
    Format: Hands-on Lab
    Industry: Consumer products
    Product: Fusion, Fusion Design Extension, Fusion Generative Design Extension, Fusion Manufacturing Extension, Fusion Simulation Extension
    Occupation: CAD manager, Product engineer, Product manager, Electronics engineer, Product designer
    Industry Group Catalog Filter: D&M
    Hide session room: Yes
