Boredom calling?

Are you out of homework to do? Do have nothing else to do?

Well you are in luck! Check out Autodesk Labs today!

Autodesk Labs is a development area where you (yes you!) can try out some of the up and coming technologies.

Ok, for those of you who know me, I work in the manufacturing field and often pick on the Architectural folks. For those of you that are architecturally inclined check these out...


"Project Dragonfly is ideal for anyone who’s ever wanted an easy, intuitive floor planning tool to dream, organize, and envision changes in their living space."














Dragonfly is an on-line tool, but you can sign up so that once done with your design you can save it as a DWG.

Another cool looking tool that is extremly new - so new I haven't even played with it is Project Newport. http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/newport/

This looks like a really cool conceptual/rendering tool. They were still working on it when I posted this, but I will keep an eye on it and update the blog when it is out.

Of course there are bunch of other tools you should check out, these are just a few.

For the Manufacturing/Engineering folks check this out.


Inventor Fusion is a stripped down version of Inventor that offers press pull capabilities. Check out some of the videos on Fusion's main page.
