Autodesk will be giving two demonstrations and running a competition at this Seco’s Inspiration through Innovation event, taking place from 9-10 October at the company’s Technology Centre facility in Alcester, Warwickshire.
Autodesk has been selected by Seco as one of 17 technical partners to host demonstrations at the annual event. On the show floor, discussions will focus on the improvements in productivity and performance that manufacturers can gain through technologies emerging from Industry 4.0.
The company will be showcasing generative design, a technology that enhances the role of engineers by delivering optimised designs based on parameters set by the individual, such as materials, manufacturing methods and cost constraints. Autodesk engineers will be on hand during the event to discuss how generative design benefits machining and they will also be running two live demonstrations:
“With Industry 4.0 rewriting the rules of traditional manufacturing processes and tools, it’s important that we share knowledge with one another to reinstate Britain as an industrial powerhouse. We pioneered generative design technology and have been championing it for several years as a way to enhance the role of engineers. We’re excited to be demonstrating its power at the event.”
To mark the Seco event, Autodesk will be running a competition. The company invites manufacturers to submit photos of parts they have created using Seco tooling.
To enter, individuals and companies should submit photos of their parts via the competition website: https://autode.sk/seco-photo-competition and enter on Twitter and Facebook using: #itiphotocompetition. The winning entry will be chosen by public votes on the website.
Entries must be submitted by 1pm on Friday 5th October 2018. The winner will then be notified via email with the prize presented at the Seco event on the Autodesk stand.
The winner will receive a full conference pass to Autodesk University Las Vegas from 13-15 November 2018, including flights and accommodation, worth circa £3,000. In addition, he or she will also receive two complementary places on Seco’s Step Core or Step Advanced training course, depending on knowledge, worth nearly £1,500, to be booked by the end of 2019.
