Success Stories

Explore documented success stories and testimonials featuring the value of Autodesk technology and Partner services delivered to solve for critical business requirements and desired customer outcomes.

Autodesk PLM & Vault Professional Business Practice Assessment

Bradford White had managed their engineering CAD documentation within Microsoft Windows explorer folders for 30+ years with measurable success. However, as they looked to the future and were seeking ways to improve their historic processes, workflows, and internal collaboration methods, they established new corporate initiatives with their sights set on improving their procedures by way of applying “automation” to those historic manual systems.

Fusion 360 Velocity Training and Support

EFD Induction was looking for a solution to replace its historic CAM system with a cloud-based application that would consolidate all aspects of its CAM and machining tools and processes. They also had an existing post-processor that needed to be updated and refined to eliminate associated errors introduced in what had been a long-standing manual process. Finally, they desired to add a parametric 3D modeling capability as well as institute new and more efficient workflows for all CAD to CAM to Shopfloor processes to lessen potential errors in an inconsistent manual creation and editing process.

Design Process Improvement Initiative

After years of using dependable but older design and production processes, Stratford Homes Limited Partnership decided to make significant changes to their design tools while enhancing information-sharing capability among corporate departments and move from AutoCAD to Autodesk Revit as their primary design tool.

Fusion 360 Custom Post-Processor Development & Support

WM Kline & Co. (client,) Inc. was looking for a way to update and refine their historic processes for creating G-code and tool path programs for their CNC and lathe machines. Through some internal consideration based on some outside research, they realized they were experiencing a significant loss in production time related to the time in which it took them to create the programming for their shop floor machines. This situation was impacting the company with a measurable loss of revenue because of their inability to produce and deliver error-free programs to their shop floor CNC, milling, and lathe machines.

User Management Business System Update

D3 was called upon to update the client’s “Business User functionality and management” for their existing API web hooks, and the group functionality within the client’s existing system that was created previously by D3 Technologies as a customized project using Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage. The existing solution was created to automate user creation, security assignment, user management, and license management processes within their Quality Assurance Platform (Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle).The client identified updates and refinements that needed to be made to their existing Business User Management System functionality. The updates included group approval board updates, group assignment, the removal of irregularities that had manifested over the initial stage of use, to further simplify workflows and reduce the geographical footprint that will be managed by the updated User Management Business System in the future. Finally, there was a need to expand access and capabilities for their suppliers within their existing workspaces.

The Moth Wing to Sound Absorbing Acoustic Panels

The Biomimicry Alliance wanted to find an alternative method for creating sound absorption materials for application in open office work environments. They posed the question, “How would nature absorb sound?” Through investigation, they discovered the “Cabbage Tree Emperor moth” (Bunaea alcinoe) a moth species belonging to the family Saturniidae, native to Southern Africa. This unique moth can avoid its most notorious predator, a bat, and its “sonar” like ability to track its prey. The moth's wings are covered by overlapping scales that are less than (0.0098 inches) long and have a peculiar porous structure. This structure absorbs the "echolocation" sound of their predator, the bat, and thus helps them to camouflage themselves acoustically. But could The Biomimicry Alliance successfuly emulate the acoustical features of the moth’s wings and apply it to the design of acoustic panels?

Large Greenfield Expansion 2

Hargrove is a multi-discipline Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firm that provides comprehensive on-site support to their clients in the energy generation, manufacturing, research and development, infrastructure, and process-heavy sectors. They have completed over 22,000 projects and served over 2,100 facilities since inception. Over the last several years margins on projects have gotten tighter and project timelines have become shorter. To meet these heightened demands, Hargrove began to realize that they needed to be able to communicate more effectively between engineering disciplines, field employees, subcontractors, and owners. Also, with the constraints imposed by the current Covid-19 pandemic, employees that are being kept out of the office are creating even greater challenges when it comes to sharing data across projects. Included in their desired enhancements is to automate data output during projects whenever possible.

Better Accuracy and Efficiency for Plastic Parts

Founded in 2015, MK Machining set out with the goal of delivering innovative products to the precision shooting community at an incredible value. All their products are manufactured using cutting-edge technology and materials produced here in the USA. They began a search for a solution that would help them improve productivity while decreasing labor in their manufacturing process and allow them to refine the “nesting” process of parts.

Reduce Mold Cycle-Times

Since 1988, Vamco, LLC has been supplying their Company Partners with their mold making, tooling and custom plastic injection needs along with a full-service plastic injection molding facility, machine shop with tooling and prototyping capabilities. Over time, VAMCO, LLC had come to the realization that to meet their heightened corporate objectives, they needed to improve the accuracy of their quoting process. Included in their desired enhancements were to gain key project information while reducing cycle time and producing more exacting weight analysis data that could help transform their production floor time and process.

Moldflow-to-FEA

Alpine Advanced Materials specializes in bringing technology and advanced materials to the market. As a subsidiary of Catalyze Dallas, Alpine specializes in the commercialization of innovative solutions that serve various industries. Alpine wished to expand the software compatibility of their Moldflow-to-FEA process. Alpine was looking to convert components from metal materials into polymers. As part of this process, they needed to investigate the use of their specific advanced materials to maintain strength and rigidity while reducing the weight of the final product. Lastly, this project also allowed for evaluation of Autodesk Moldflow as a potential solution for future projects.

Automated Computer-Aided Manufacturing

The A. W. Cash Company was incorporated on November 13, 1920, with production operations of the company located in Decatur, Illinois. In 1934, the Riley Stoker Corporation of Worcester, Mass., acquired the stock of the A. W. Cash Company. The name of the A. W. Cash Company was changed to Cashco, Incorporated on February 18, 1972. Some of the challenges that they face is manual programming process for shop floor CNC machines was consuming too much of their time causing excessive loss of production time while limiting product through-put. They were having to maintain too many controls, code variations, and tooling. In addition to that, manual processes made planning and machine usage time estimates difficult at best and excessive machine tool setup time.

Safety Training in Virtual Reality

Engineering & Inspection Services (EIS) specializes in petrochemical but has recently begun expanding into architectural and construction areas. Thanks to their dedication to adopting the newest technology, they are leading the way in providing their customers with advancements in laser scanning, virtual reality, and animations for cloud-based programs. One initiative was to offer training modules in a VR environment, but they didn’t currently have the necessary in-house resources or experience.

From Bentley to Autodesk: A Win for Badgers and Local Government!

The City of Madison’s biggest challenge was providing solutions that streamlined services while maintaining each department’s specialized knowledge, workflow, and individuality. Many of the departments had unique templates and customized tools built into their Bentley workflows that they liked and wanted to replicate in the new Autodesk BIM platforms. They needed a partner that could help them analyze their workflow between teams, then transition their templates over to the appropriate Autodesk tool followed by focused training and expert advisement as they made this transition.

Diamond Donor Program: The United States Olympic Museum

To answer an outpouring of interest from athletes and the public, the challenge was to individually model aluminum panels as a form of virtual tender in support of The United States Olympic Museum. The program could then allow each panel to be figuratively adopted, like buying a star. For MG AEC Technology Partners (D3 Technologies), the technological challenge was how to take an extremely robust dataset in the Building Information Model and make it accessible to the public in an intuitive, web-ready way to enable the adoption of a panel through donation, thus providing content funding that can live on for generations.

Fusion Lifecycle and Forge Authentication Integration

Greenpoint Technologies (a Safran Company) utilizes cutting-edge technology and expertise to deliver refined aircraft interior design solutions. The team faced a tight deadline to update Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle API-based integrations to use Forge-based authentication.

Consolidation of Worldwide Vault 2020

John Zink Hamworthy Combustion, after maintaining a primary Vault Professional server with 9 world-wide replicated servers including 5 separate Vault Databases, decided to consolidate all Vaults into one primary GLOBAL vault, and then re-establish replication around the world. The task would require the standardization of workflows and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes.

Automating Security Management with Fusion Lifecycle

A Fortune 500 Top 10 company in the public services sector had to spend many hours managing users in Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle reducing the time available for value-added activities.

Peak Time Design Drafting Services
