Yesterday I headed across to Esslingen, a town south-east from Zurich, to meet with a large Swiss customer of ours, Basler & Hofmann. They're an independent engineering, planning and consulting company with 600 employees in 4 countries (although most are based here in Switzerland). One of the reasons for meeting in Esslingen was the chance […]

Among other things, this week, I've been trying to kick-off my AU2018 catch-up viewing. So far I've just had the chance to fill in the keynotes that I missed, so I thought I'd collect those that I could find together for others to view. The first keynote of the Monday's pre-conference events was that of […]

I really enjoy my job, these days (although frankly that's been true for the majority of my career at Autodesk): I get to work on projects related to IoT (Dasher 360) and to generative design (using Dynamo + Refinery). This is a real privilege, because there's a connection between the two that's tangible and that […]

My friend Dieter Vermeulen will be presenting a free, 1-hour webinar at 11am GMT on December 6, 2018, about how Computational Design can improve automation and optimization in the AEC industry. Here's a photo of Dieter having a turn as DJ at the recent DynaNoche at AU Las Vegas. While the webinar's title mentions computational […]

I'm on the train home after a whirlwind week in Las Vegas. Another great AU is "in the bag" and I'm looking forward to getting home to my family. But first a quick recap of the week… I arrived on Saturday night, as usual, and managed to get a decent first night's sleep. On Sunday […]

I was hoping to be able to announce something exciting today, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until Monday. In the meantime, here's a quick taste of what you're going to see next week. Exciting times! 🙂 If you're coming to Las Vegas, next week, you'll be able to hear more […]

Some of you may have seen the interview on Engineering.com with our new CTO, Scott Borduin. If you don't already know Scott, I recommend reading it to get a sense of who he is as a person. Today's post is both to welcome Scott to his new role and to wish our former CTO, Jeff […]

There's just over a week to go before the craziest week of my year (i.e. Autodesk University) kicks off, once again. I've been heads-down preparing various slide-decks and handouts for the big event. Things are in reasonably good shape, but there's still a bit of work left to do. I had a quick glance at […]

My world seems to be filled with robots, these days, whether seeing how they can be used in architecture and construction, animating them inside Forge, or seeing them 3D print steel bridges (I'm at MX3D again, this week). It makes me think I should probably dust off my HoloLens app for making robots dance in […]

It's been a great few days in Rome, at the Forge team's first ever Roman accelerator. Things kicked off on Monday morning, as we occupied the conference room at Rimond's office in Rome's Trastevere district. As is usual at these events, there are a number of companies doing really interesting things: several of them have […]
