AEC professionals attending Autodesk University to experience the next evolution of BIM

This year at Autodesk University, one message will stand out clearly: Building Information Modeling (BIM) is no longer just a tool—it’s the core of how we design, build, and operate. With its proven ability to cut costs, improve quality, and streamline workflows, BIM has reached a pivotal moment—one that industry leader Andy Grove would have called a “strategic inflection point.”

But what does BIM look like in a world where everything is connected? That’s exactly what we’ll be showcasing at this year’s event. From our exhibits to our sessions, we’re focusing on the future of connected BIM—a new era where data, collaboration, and technology work together seamlessly.

Modern BIM technologies are transforming the way we design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. Yet, for many AEC professionals, adopting these tools can feel overwhelming. It often means retraining teams, trusting cloud-based systems, and stepping out of the comfort zone of 2D into the dynamic world of 3D models and BIM.

At Autodesk University, we’re here to show you how connected BIM workflows can simplify your work, boost innovation, and unlock new business opportunities. Here’s how:

1. Connecting Insights – By leveraging the power of the cloud, mobility, and AI-driven tools like generative design, we can analyze vast amounts of data early in the design phase. This allows us to make smarter decisions before construction even begins, leading to better-performing buildings and more efficient processes. For example, Autodesk’s Project Fractal demonstrates how intelligent algorithms can generate optimized building forms and facades in record time.

Autodesk’s generative design tool, Project Fractal, is an example of how we connect insight. View Project Fractal as it is used to compute a building shell and façade.

2. Connecting Delivery – The goal is to bridge the gap between design and execution. With connected BIM platforms, we bring digitalization to the construction site through drones, sensors, and real-time data. This ensures that the vision from the blueprint becomes reality with fewer errors, less waste, and faster results. Take Hines Market Square in Houston, where 3D scanning and cloud-based tools helped create a detailed digital twin of the project.

3. Connecting Assets – Once a building is constructed, the value of BIM doesn’t stop. Connected systems gather operational data over time, helping facility managers make better maintenance decisions and improve future designs. Tools like Autodesk Building Ops enable real-time asset tracking and maintenance, ensuring buildings run smarter and last longer.

4. Connecting Teams – Collaboration is key. Whether working across cities or continents, connected BIM platforms help teams stay aligned, share information in real time, and avoid costly miscommunications. Firms like Hennebery Eddy and Fentress used Autodesk BIM 360 Team to collaborate on a complex airport project, proving that geography doesn’t limit teamwork anymore.

So, what’s the takeaway? The future of construction is connected. And the time to act is now. Embrace BIM, improve efficiency, reduce risk, and stay ahead of the curve. If you can’t make it to Vegas, don’t worry—we’ve got resources, videos, and insights to keep you informed. Join us in shaping the future of making things.

Unscrewing Plastic Molding

The structure of this type of mould is relatively complex, making it difficult to remove some plastic parts such as caps and closures with detailed threads using standard knock-off methods. After the parts are moulded, they need to be carefully unscrewed from the mould to avoid damaging the threads. With over 15 years of experience in unscrewing moulding, we specialize in Inside Unscrewing Mould, Outside unscrewing mould, and unscrewing mould inside and outside. Therefore, we can design excellent unscrewing moulds to produce various unscrewing products. According to the types of different unscrewing products, we will choose two different demoulding methods: the first one is to use the elastic deformation of the material to forcibly eject the plastic part from the core through the unloading plate when the material allows, which is called Forced demoulding method. The other type is for plastic parts with deeper unscrewing, higher material strength, and higher thread accuracy requirements. We will use the rotational demoulding method.
