2 Extraordinary New Design Tool. Autodesk Fusion 360 is the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform that works on both Mac and PC. "The perfect interface between design and manufacturing." - Stefania Cargnello, Oru Kayak adopted Fusion 360. And now Steelcase Inc. globally." - John Hamilton, Coaless "Fusion 360 It's a gamechanger for me." - Jason Pohl, Orange County Choppers "Now everything is integrated so easy to use." - Timon Alferink, K-M-P Motorsport "I think this software, in the next 5 years, is going to take over all other CAD packages." - Christian Welch, Swissomation Autodesk Fusion 360 is very different from current desktop limited CAD software. What makes it different and how will it help adopters meet the never ending challenges and technological changes facing the manufacturing and design sectors. Change is driven by consumers who demand personalisation and customisation. connectivity. As technology continues to advance exponentially, barriers to entry, commercialisation and learning are eroding. New market entrants with access to new tools can operate at much smaller scale. Enter Autodesk Fusion 360. Autodesk Fusion 360 supports the entire Design to Manufacture workflow in a single CAD package. Solid, Surface, T-Spline and Mesh geometry is supported. Drawing, Rendering and 3D-Printed output is available for design validation, documentation and prototyping. Within the same CAD package, Simulation and shape optimisation tools help you to check and validate your design, while integrated CAM allows you to manufacture the final parts. Fusion 360 to a specific operating system. The licence is tied to your Autodesk login, not the integrated document management system backs up all your working files to your Fusion 360 Team account making it easy for you to work from wherever you choose. The CAD, CAM & CAE platform uses the power of the cloud to leverage extensive computing power for intensive analysis tasks such as rendering and FEA studies. You no longer have to wait at your Workstation, paralysed waiting for complex computations to be completed. No designer works in isolation. Getting products to market early requires extensive collaboration with every stakeholder, contributor and customer wherever in the World they might be. The platform provides everyone with access to your files from any web connected device, a real bonus in helping to achieve a shorter design phase, earlier manufacture and market introduction. Viewing and mark-up tools are built in to the Fusion 360 TM Team document manager. Asking for a customer review of your design is a simple as sending a web-link. Autodesk Fusion 360 is available for a free 30 day trial. The rental licence model provides options for monthly or yearly terms from just students, start-ups and any small company. (Terms apply)

4 Spend less time chasing down files and more time creating winning designs. The world is not slowing down, product cycles are shrinking, and customers demand instant responses. The product design & engineering teams are under relentless pressure to deliver more, in less time with fewer resources. How can your organisation and your most valuable assets, your people fight back against the avalanche of more work, increased complexity and shorter schedules. The Autodesk Vault family of product data management (PDM) software helps your team create better designs, reduce errors, and build a more efficient development cycle. It securely stores and manages data and files in a central location supporting teams, wherever they are located, create, share and reuse information. Autodesk Vault is integrated with Autodesk Inventor Professional, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Revit and Civil 3D products. It helps design teams track work in progress and maintain version control in multi-user environments. It allows them to organize and reuse designs by consolidating product information and reducing the need to re-create designs from scratch. Users can store and search both CAD data (such as Autodesk Inventor, DWG, and DWF files) and non-cad documents (such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files). The following products are part of the Autodesk Vault Family: VAULT BASIC Organize, manage, and track data creation and documentation. VAULT WORKGROUP Customisation, Revision Management & Security VAULT PROFESSIONAL ERP Integration, Item Master and more. Taking the first step towards building a robust management system is always the toughest. Yet these initial stages where the greatest opportunity exists for controlling expenditure yet maximising on benefits, ensuring senior management buy-in. It follows that early direct expert support and guidance is invaluable in determining options, costs and anticipated benefits.

8 Simon Eaves PLM CONSULTANT d2m3 What is Product Lifecycle Management software? Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the process of managing complex product information, engineering and ma anufacturing workflows, and collaboratio on. PLM helps build a solid foundation of efficient and repeatable processes to support your organisations rapid growth. Managing development processes manually with s and spreadsheets might work in the short term, but not when it's time to ramp up production. While PLM is often associated with large enterprises, it can be even more important to the success of small and medium sized businesses. With the cloud, the benefits of PLM are finally available to start-ups and small businesses. PLM software connects people, processes, and data across the entire product lifecycle to a central repository of information. As a consequence everyone from the conceptual designer to the customer is on the same page, sharing the same up-to-date product definition and related data. Eliminate process bottlenecks A key outcome is the reduction in delays and bottlenecks by providing the tools to design and define processes and workflows, along with their associated tasks, decision stages and milestones. Improve strategic decisions Create a central repository for all product data. Give people access to the right information at the right time, so they can make better informed decisions earlier. PLM in the cloud Cloud-based PLM offers many advantage es over traditional on premise product lifecycle management, including: Benefits of Product Lifecycle Management Lower total cost of ownership The ultimate purpose of PLM software is to accelerate product development and increase profitability. Accelerate time-to-value PLM delivers more efficient product development processes and breaks down information and functional silos, so you can get your products to market faster, earning higher margins. No hardware to purchase or servers to maintain Faster implementation Instantly on Se cure access anytime, anywhere
