I’ve spent a lot of time recently in AutoCAD and Revit for a class I’m taking this semester, and I’ve come to really appreciate the level of power that the various Autodesk software titles hold. I’ve spent a little bit of time in Fusion for modeling for fabrication purposes - mostly laser cutting and 3D printing, and while I know I’ve only scratched the surface of what it can do, what I could do is really cool. The flexibility of the software within extensions as well as the access to their API they provide makes it a really interesting customizable software, which I can really see being as applicable on a manufacturing scale. Fusion has been on my software-learning bucket list for awhile now, I can really see it being a useful tool for figuring out and modeling specific parts needed for electronics projects or show specific set mounts. Overall, it was really cool to learn a little more about Fusion, and I hope I get some time to dive into it soon.

I've worked with AutoDesk Inventor a lot, and it is a pretty good 3D modeling program to work with. I knew AutoDesk had other programs, but I had never seen them actually being applied in real life. They mentioned that Termobrasa made the decision to fully switch from paper to using AutoDesk Fusion nearly five years ago, and they've seen a lot of improvements since this change. The transition from using one method (such as hand drawings) to an entirely different one (computer models), can be a really difficult one to make. It means a big change and it's always bit rocky as you are switching. But once they got through that, it seems like using AD has drastically improved their ease and efficiency in production. AutoDesk is always improving and coming up with new programs and ways to improve productivity, so as time goes on, this should continue to benefit the company in many ways.

I find Autodesk Fusion's approach to modernizing the manufacturing sector quite compelling. Fusion's cloud-based CAD/CAM solution seems to be an all-in-one platform that simplifies complex processes, allowing companies to streamline their workflows from design to production. What resonates with me is how it integrates data management, automation, and real-time collaboration, all of which are crucial in today’s fast-paced environment.One feature that stands out is the ability to customize workflows through API access and modular extensions. It allow businesses to adapt the platform to their specific needs without investing in extensive development. This flexibility reminds me of approaches used in educational technologies, where platforms also offer modular tools to meet different learning styles and administrative needs. Autodesk Fusion really provides an exciting model for the future of interconnected, efficient systems across industries, and is very useful for our world
