Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) has recently made significant updates to its Forge platform, marking a major step forward in cloud-based application development. The company held its first-ever Forge DevCon event, where it announced new tools and services designed to empower developers across the manufacturing and AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industries.
Since launching last December, the Forge platform has already seen rapid adoption, with early users leveraging it to transform both the way products are made and the types of solutions that can be built. Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President of Products at Autodesk, highlighted the growing demand for an easy-to-use, scalable platform that supports a wide range of applications—from part inspection and sub-sea surveying to drone-assisted mine management and cost estimation optimization.
The Forge Platform offers a suite of cloud-based services that connect design, engineering, visualization, collaboration, production, and operations workflows. It provides APIs and SDKs that allow developers—both small and large—to build intuitive, cloud-powered applications tailored for the people shaping our world.
New features include:
- **Viewer**: Supports 50+ file formats, enabling real-time viewing, commenting, and measurement of 2D and 3D designs.
- **Model Derivative API**: Converts design files into different formats and extracts geometry data for use in other applications.
- **Design Automation API**: Enables AutoCAD scripts to run in the cloud, ideal for batch processing and web-based drawing generation.
- **Authentication**: A secure, open-standard method for granting third-party access without exposing user credentials.
- **Data Management API**: Streamlines data handling across A360, Fusion 360, BIM 360 Docs, and Forge’s native storage service.
- **3D Print API**: Helps developers create end-to-end 3D printing solutions, from model preparation to remote monitoring.
- **Reality Capture API**: Converts photos into 3D models, especially useful for drone-captured data with geolocation support.
In addition to platform improvements, Autodesk has also invested in three key companies through the Forge Fund:
- **3D Robotics (3DR)** uses the Forge platform to develop aerial data capture and analytics solutions for infrastructure and construction sectors.
- **MakeTime** connects buyers with CNC machine suppliers, streamlining supply chain management and reducing traditional manufacturing barriers.
- **Seebo** integrates IoT capabilities with Autodesk’s design tools, helping manufacturers turn simple products into smart, connected devices.
Forge DevCon is part of a broader initiative to grow the developer community, offering learning resources, support, and business development opportunities. Developers from around the world are using Forge to build innovative solutions in AEC, manufacturing, AR, AM, and IoT.
To encourage exploration, Autodesk is offering free, unlimited access to the Forge platform in eligible countries until September 15, 2016.
