20+ Years of Design, Technology & More
123D is a new free 3D solid modeling software released today. 123D is intended for those wanting to make things commonly known as “Makers”. Makers of all ages will be able to create, visualize, and make their own creations.
E-waste is a plaguing our landfills and polluting our waters, but there's an opportunity to change that by using Digital Prototyping to design products for easy disassembly, recycling, repair and upgrade.

Head Scan to 3D using Cloud Computing, The Gallery, The Autodesk Book, One Man at TED 2011 Changing the World, and Learn Something.
Last week the TED 2011 conference was held in Long Beach California. Autodesk was a sponsor and showed several examples of great design and technology at the event. This event showcases the latest in technology, entertainment, and design as expressed by passionate top speakers in the challenging timeframe of 18 minutes. This is the premier gathering of the Thinkers, Makers, and Do-ers sharing ideas and trying to make the world a better place to live.
For those interested in cutting edge ideas, technology, and speakers, the TED conference has been the source of a brain stimulating smorgasbord to feast since its founding. The focus of TED is “T”echnology, “E”ducation, and “D”esign. As you may be aware Autodesk is passionate about all three of the focus points in TED and perhaps best known for the big “D” in Design.
It is always amazing to see what Autodesk customers do with our software and technology. In this case, it is definitely an entertaining experience learning about a great design team and company by watching the video (link below) rockin’ the storyline and some great backing music to make it just that much more of an experience.
Autodesk has extended hours the Autodesk Gallery at One Market in San Francisco is open to the public. See the Gallery and the exhibits every Wednesday.
This is so very cool for users of the Apple iPhone and Apple iPod touch and only $2.99 which has to be a record low price for an Autodesk application excluding free products
The new Autodesk Labs project named Autodesk Project Dragonfly has been gaining a great deal of chatter in the social networks as well as the web and traditional press. It is a really cool free web based application allowing almost anyone to design their house, space or just reorganize a space. It is as simple as drag and drop. You can assign dimensions and when completed share with others on the site or export to a JPEG, 2D or 3D .DWG file or a Revit .RVT file.
That’s right the evil villain in the TeknoChronicles of Z has a contest for 3D design the “Benign Design contest in 3D”.
Thinking Green, Autodesk has published a guide for all to read on sustainable design. This helps you understand and explore the impact of energy, water, materials, and land in the building lifecycle.With selection of each of the areas of the lifecycle segment there is a link to Learn More detailed information.
