Attendees learned how Forge is making data more accessible, extensible, and open, so government manufacturing and AEC professionals can automate tasks, unlock insights, and unleash the talent of their teams. Autodesk Forge is a platform of web service application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow professionals to integrate Autodesk Software as a Service (SaaS) products into manufacturing and AEC workflows.ĭuring last month’s Autodesk University 2021, there was a general session on how the Forge platform is evolving to connect workflows between roles and between industries.

That’s why Autodesk is using its Forge platform to connect all the capabilities of its AEC products and placing them all in one single environment. Repeatedly rooting through reams of data doesn’t make the projects you work on or the work you do more meaningful.”

Any manufacturing or architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professional can attest that the challenge is found in executing upon those ideas, especially when this involves moving subsets of data back and forth between multiple applications and products.Īccording to Autodesk’s President and CEO, Andrew Anagnost, “Nobody becomes an architect, engineer, or animator to do this kind of non-creative work. In the government manufacturing, construction, and design world, innovation isn’t hindered by a lack of creativity or ideas.
