Generative design delivers optimised designs, based on parameters set by the individual, such as materials, manufacturing methods and cost constraints. Autodesk engineers will be on hand during the event to discuss how generative design benefits machining and they will also be running two live demonstrations:
Mark Gadsden, digital manufacturing group marketing manager, Autodesk, says: “It’s a pleasure to be invited to demonstrate our CAM technology again this year at Seco’s Inspiration through Innovation event and to celebrate collaboration in the manufacturing industry. With Industry 4.0 rewriting the rules of traditional manufacturing processes and tools, it’s important that we share knowledge with one another to reinstate Britain as an industrial powerhouse. We pioneered generative design technology and have been championing it for several years as a way to enhance the role of engineers. We’re excited to be demonstrating its power at the event.”
To mark the Seco event, Autodesk invites manufacturers to submit photos of parts they have created using Seco tooling. To enter individuals/companies should submit photos of their parts via the competition website and enter on Twitter and Facebook using: #itiphotocompetition
The winning entry will be chosen by public votes on the website.
Entries must be submitted by 1pm on Friday, 5 October 2018. The winner will then be notified via e-mail and presented with their prize at the Autodesk stand at Seco’s Inspiration through Innovation event.
The winner will receive a full conference pass to Autodesk University Las Vegas from 13 to 15 November 2018, including flights and accommodation, worth circa £3,000. In addition, they will also receive two complementary places on Seco’s Step Core or Step Advanced training course, depending on knowledge, worth nearly £1,500, to be booked by the end of 2019.
