Whereas other product costing solutions on the market require significant manual input by highly trained experts, aPriori says its solution for generative design is entirely automated. “We’re expanding our footprint into the concept design phase of product development, integrating the power of Fusion 360’s generative design with aPriori’s manufacturing simulation capabilities.”ĪPriori will analyse each design variation created with a generative design study to identify its manufacturing cost range. “This partnership with Autodesk is very strategic for us,” says Stephanie Feraday, president and CEO of aPriori Technologies. aPriori’s costing model accounts for geometry, material and manufacturing method, criteria that Fusion 360 users enter when setting up a generative design study.
Users can turn on the manufacturing extension in Fusion 360 for 125 cloud credits per month, per user, and gain unlimited access to its capabilities as long as it is active.Īfter unveiling generative design for Fusion 360 last year, Autodesk has now partnered with aPriori to integrate manufacturing cost insights for generative design, so users will be able to view cost estimates for every result.
With customers in mind, Autodesk is making it easy to activate the extension on a short-term basis.
By using these automation and optimisation tools during programming, users will generate more effective NC programs, faster, yielding time savings across both programming and machining. When activated, the extension will act as a hybrid manufacturing environment, letting users perform processes like complex surface finishing, automated drilling, additive manufacturing and automated verification workflows. The Fusion 360 manufacturing extension will be the first to enter the line-up.
