Autodesk Unveils Cloud-Based 3D Modelling Solution

Autodesk, Inc., the cloud-based design and engineering software provider, previewed Project Forge, the world’s first comprehensive cloud-based 3D modelling offering, at Autodesk University.

Autodesk Project Forge allows design and engineering professionals to more easily create 3D product designs and collaborate with others in the cloud. The cloud technology behind Project Forge offers anytime, anywhere access, from virtually any mobile device or web browser and puts essential data at the center of the design experience. It also supports an open design environment, allowing designers to readily incorporate and modify CAD data from virtually any source.

“Data is at the centre of the product design process, and the cloud frees that data to be accessible anywhere, anytime,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, Senior Vice President, Design, Lifecycle and Simulation at Autodesk. “Project Forge will give designers and engineers the first powerful, easy-to-use and complete cloud-based design solution.”
