The organizations and teams who engage with the Autodesk Technology Centers conduct speculative and industry-applied work pertaining to design and make. From start-ups and customers, to academics, industry teams and groups within Autodesk, our residents are leaders with a passion for accelerating and researching design and make processes in a myriad of industries.
The Outsight Network is a global community of resident teams from industry, academic, and entrepreneurial sectors who are passionate about accelerating and researching design and make processes. The network offers open access to resources that enable teams to discover and test advanced techniques for design and make.
With a global network that spans North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, the Autodesk Technology Centers’ ability to foster connections is made possible through virtual engagements and physical spaces. The Technology Centers Workshops and Studios are physical locations with fabrication equipment and design technology. Each location is equipped with technical experts who can support teams with their use of workshop equipment for projects and initiatives.
From generative design to nesting and simulation, these are the digital tools and design methodologies that best support the creation of sustainable products right now.
With the Technology Centers Outsight Network, Autodesk has created a residency program for companies using new technology to solve problems in design and construction.
An introduction to generative design at Ivy Tech Community College gave a former animatronics operator the skills he needed to change his career.
The Outsight Network program has open enrollment and residencies can last anywhere from one month to a year or more.
“We’ve had a great experience working within the Outsight Network. Cosm Medical is grateful for the access to world-class prototyping facilities and the expertise of the Technology Centers community to help build, test, and iterate our platform that integrates diagnostic imaging, AI, cloud software, and 3D printing to work with clinicians to personalize care for pelvic floor disorders so more women can live and age with dignity and grace.”
