At the Autodesk University in Las Vegas, the event kicked off with an inspiring general session led by CEO Andrew Anagnost and a lineup of special guests. One of the highlights was a presentation from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory about an innovative manufacturing research project that is pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
Today, I had the opportunity to co-present with Steve Hooper during a keynote where we discussed the latest trends in the manufacturing industry. We also shared insights into how we're expanding our Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, along with the rest of our software portfolio, to better serve our customers' evolving needs. A great example of this is WHILL, a company that has reimagined its ultra-portable mobility chair using Autodesk’s generative design tools, resulting in a lighter and more efficient product.
Looking ahead, we see the integration of design and manufacturing as the future of product development—both inevitable and beneficial. As our customers embrace this shift, we are committed to accelerating it. By breaking down silos between designers, engineers, and manufacturers, we can enhance speed, reduce costs, and drive innovation across the board.
To support this vision, we’re making several key announcements today:
**What’s Next for Generative Design**
We are currently developing new capabilities for Autodesk Generative Design, expanding the range of manufacturing constraints to include 2- and 2.5-axis machining. This is a major step forward because it makes generative design accessible to a broader audience, especially those with basic CNC milling machines. Available through Fusion 360, generative design already supports additive manufacturing and 3- and 5-axis milling, but now with 2- and 2.5-axis options, even more users can benefit.
New Fusion 360 subscribers will also receive 100 cloud credits as a one-time grant. These credits can be used for cloud-based services like generative design, simulation, and CAM, allowing users to pay only for what they use.
Fusion 360 now offers a true hybrid manufacturing experience, combining advanced additive and CAM workflows in one platform. For more details, check out the Fusion 360 blog.
**Additive, Meet Generative**
We’ve created a seamless design-to-print workflow for additive manufacturing, integrating Autodesk Netfabb and Fusion 360 with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printers. This streamlined process makes it easier for customers to move from digital design to physical parts, speeding up prototyping and production.
Penumbra Engineering, a customer of both Autodesk and HP, recently designed and manufactured an advanced ultrasonic sensing device using generative design and HP Jet Fusion technology. The result was a lightweight, durable, and stable device suitable for extreme environments.
Michelle Bockman from HP emphasized the value of this partnership: “Combining the voxel-level capabilities of HP Multi Jet Fusion with Autodesk generative design opens up new possibilities for creativity, speed, and quality—from prototyping to full-scale production.â€
As part of this collaboration, HP and Autodesk are offering a free one-year Fusion 360 subscription with the purchase of an HP Jet Fusion 300, 500, or 4200 printer before FORMNEXT 2019, along with 300 cloud credits for those who sign up before January 31, 2019.
**Let the Metal Flow**
We’re also collaborating with GE Additive to simplify metal additive manufacturing. The new integrated workflow, built on the Fusion 360 platform, connects all stages of the additive process—from design and simulation to printing and machine analytics.
Using GE Additive’s software algorithms and data models, the workflow provides early-stage cost and timeline projections, helping designers make informed decisions without needing to produce physical prototypes first.
Lars Bruns from GE Additive said, “This partnership will help our customers lower the barriers to additive adoption and accelerate their path to the first good part.â€

**Additive for Everyone**
In another exciting initiative, EWI and Autodesk are working together to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies, including Directed Energy Deposition (DED). This includes training programs aimed at engineers and equipment manufacturers, with recent seminars covering best practices and hands-on training with Autodesk PowerMill 2019.
The next phase of this collaboration will involve launching a comprehensive additive manufacturing training course that bridges processes, software, and hardware seamlessly.
From product development to industry partnerships, we're moving fast and staying focused on delivering real value to our customers. These updates build on the strong foundation of our Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, which offers far more value than the cost of an annual subscription.
Why do we do this? Because Autodesk has always been about making advanced technology accessible to all. We’re committed to that mission. We want our manufacturing customers to be ready for the future of making so they can succeed. And when our customers win, we all win.
