SAN FRANCISCO, February 7, 2024 – Today, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) introduced Autodesk Informed Design, a groundbreaking cloud-based platform designed to bridge the gap between architectural design and manufacturing processes. Informed Design empowers architects to work seamlessly with pre-defined, customizable building products that yield accurate results, while manufacturers can easily share detailed product information with design teams. By integrating these workflows, Informed Design is paving the way for industrialized construction—a transformative approach that applies manufacturing principles to the construction industry.
The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) sector is under immense pressure to address rapid urbanization, population growth, and the global housing crisis. For instance, approximately 100,000 affordable homes need to be constructed daily by 2030 to accommodate an estimated 3 billion people. At the same time, the industry must address its environmental impact, as construction is one of the most wasteful sectors globally, contributing nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions.
According to Ryan McMahon, Director and General Manager of Informed Design at Autodesk, "The current methods of working in the AECO industry are neither sustainable nor scalable. To meet future demands, we need to build faster, better, and more sustainably. Industrialized construction holds the key. Autodesk Informed Design ensures that design and manufacturing processes are synchronized from the very beginning, leading to quicker project completion, superior quality, and reduced waste."
This innovative solution is part of Autodesk's broader Design and Make Platform, which integrates software tools to connect teams, data, and workflows across the entire project lifecycle. Informed Design is now available globally as a free add-on for two of Autodesk’s industry-leading solutions:
**Autodesk Informed Design for Revit**: This tool equips design professionals with the ability to work with building products that are guaranteed to be manufacturable, ensuring unmatched quality and reliability. Available as an add-in for Revit 2024, it enhances design accuracy, increases productivity, and minimizes errors. Key features include:
- **Template Discovery**: Access a library of pre-built product templates to integrate manufacturing-level details into your designs effortlessly.
- **Customization**: Tailor building products to fit specific project requirements while adhering to manufacturers' specifications.
- **Certainty**: Validate design decisions in real-time to eliminate risks and prevent costly mistakes.
**Autodesk Informed Design for Inventor**: Designed for product managers and engineers, this add-in streamlines the collaboration between design and manufacturing teams. It offers:
- **Seamless Collaboration**: Create parametric models of building products to ensure only compliant versions are used.
- **Powerful BIM Content Creation**: Define BIM content to verify compatibility with project requirements and industry standards.
- **Efficient Documentation**: Simplify the generation of product documentation at scale and produce precise fabrication-ready outputs.
Green Canopy NODE, a forward-thinking construction technology firm addressing housing and environmental challenges, has been utilizing early access versions of Informed Design for Revit and Inventor to enhance their design and engineering processes:
"Autodesk Informed Design proves that it's possible to achieve high-quality, aesthetically pleasing designs while maintaining cost-effectiveness through mass production," said Benjamin Hall, Senior Product Manager at Green Canopy NODE. "Working within constraints doesn't limit creativity—it opens up possibilities that are practical and sustainable."
