At Autodesk University, the company made a significant announcement regarding its Forge developer platform, which is now being embraced by developers and businesses of all sizes. These users are leveraging Forge to create and deploy applications that drive innovation across manufacturing and construction sectors. Additionally, a recent update to the platform aims to simplify the development process even further.
A next-generation cloud application framework is emerging, transforming the design and engineering landscape from solitary, desktop-based CAD experiences to highly collaborative, cloud-based environments. To streamline end-to-end workflows, the Reality Capture API is now available. Autodesk plans to roll out several new features on Forge, including improvements to the BIM 360 API and the upcoming integration of the Design Automation API with Autodesk Revit and Inventor.
Moreover, a new Webhooks API will allow Forge users to seamlessly connect their apps with popular third-party platforms. Autodesk is also developing new platform solutions that sit atop a robust cloud infrastructure, empowering customers to build custom solutions and workflows on the Forge platform. The Forge Application Framework SDK will feature reusable, modular components such as High Frequency Data Management, Solid Modeling, and Web Graphics, along with tools to facilitate app creation and deployment.
In a partnership with Dropbox, Forge is set to introduce native .DWG preview capabilities directly within Dropbox. Given that over 35 .DWG files are uploaded per second, Dropbox holds one of the largest collections of Autodesk design files globally. This collaboration aims to enhance cloud-based collaboration for business users.
"AutoCAD remains one of the most widely-used applications in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields," noted Billy Blau, Dropbox's global head of business development and partnerships. "With over 1.5 billion .DWG files stored in Dropbox, we've created a vast network for Autodesk design files. Our partnership with Autodesk aligns with our mission to simplify and optimize content collaboration."
"Our collaboration with Dropbox enhances user experience through Forge's web services," said Amy Bunszel, SVP of Design & Creation Products at Autodesk. "This integration eases the transition between tasks, ensuring data is accessible and actionable."
Autodesk also announced its latest Forge Fund investment in Assemble Systems, a provider of a SaaS platform that processes BIM models, drawings, and point clouds. This enables construction professionals to manage data effectively for tasks like bidding, estimating, project management, scheduling, and financial tracking. The integration of Assemble Systems with Forge bolsters BIM 360's pre-construction offerings and supports data management workflows.
Assemble Systems pulls data from Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and other design systems, organizing it into actionable construction packages. These packages aid in quantification, estimation, subcontractor collaboration, and more. As designs evolve, Assemble tracks these changes and updates related costs and schedules, improving construction efficiency.
The Forge Fund recently invested in startups like SmartVid.io, ManufactOn, and Project Frog, focusing on industrialized construction. By adopting manufacturing-like practices, the construction industry can reduce risks and increase profitability. Autodesk's Forge Fund is fostering an ecosystem of smart, efficient, and safe construction solutions.
"Through Forge Fund investments, we're addressing new market demands as industrialized construction becomes central to AEC workflows," said Jim Lynch, VP of Construction Products at Autodesk. "By integrating advanced cloud technologies, we’re enhancing productivity, reducing risks, and boosting profit margins for construction teams."
Back up Ring has no intended sealing function. They are protective and supporting elements made from extrusion-resistant materials which generally have a rectangular cross section. They are installed in a groove together with an elastomeric sealing element preferably with a corresponding O Ring in static applications. Due to the tight fit of the Back-up Ring in the housing, they prevent extrusion of the pressurised elastomeric sealing element into the sealing gap.
