As we’ve discussed previously on the GovDesignHub, drone surveying can enable government organizations realize tremendous cost savings in contrast to traditional surveying methods. That’s because drones allow users to rapidly capture accurate, bird’s eye imaging that simply wasn’t possible before…
Synergis University an opportunity for Autodesk users to stay ahead of the curve
New technologies have revolutionized the way that Autodesk users design, construct and manufacture things for the government. These new developments – from additive manufacturing to drones for reality capture – are making AEC and manufacturing processes better and faster. But…
TrueScan3D: Using drones, laser scanning and Infraworks to cut surveying time
Developing a detailed model is an important early step in any construction project. Creating that realistic, and meticulously accurate model of a project not only uncovers potential project issues that might have been missed in earlier, rougher sketches, but also…
Best Practices in 3D Design from the Wisconsin DOT
The next time you’re on the highway, take a moment to consider all the features along the road that had to be built to get you from Point A to Point B: there’s the guard rails, the slope off of…
Lynn Allen Explains the Top Six Trends for the AEC Industry
This is the Era of Connection. Today, everything is network-enabled and Internet-connected, from smart doorbells to fitness trackers, and this technology isn’t likely to slow down. By 2020, Cisco estimates that there will be more than 24 million devices connected…
Autodesk and Unity partner to usher in the future of digital design
Early last month it was announced that a new partnership between Autodesk and Unity would open the door to what the companies coined, “immersive experiences and more efficient workflows.” While that certainly sounds fantastic, this is a partnership that may…
Unity + Autodesk: Enabling the flow of BIM data
For the public sector, communicating the value of AEC projects, driving consensus, and achieving stakeholder buy-in – whether from the public, legislators, or other authorities – is essential. And, in the past this has frequently taken the form of sharing…
Four things we learned at Autodesk University 2018
This year’s Autodesk University (AU) drew 11,000 people, featured 650+ classes, networking, parties, and more. This year’s focus was on how new technologies are creating new opportunities to do better, design better, make better, and build a better future. With…
Three Benefits of BIM 360 for Transportation Infrastructure Design
The number of cars traveling on American roads is at an all-time high. With so much volume and reliance on our roads, those responsible for designing, building, and maintaining transportation infrastructure are under more pressure than ever to ensure that…
3 Ways Simulation Can Ensure a Strong Design
In one of our recent articles on The GovDesignHub, we explored the importance of collaboration in manufacturing. From concept to creation, it’s vital that designers, engineers, and manufacturers take part in each step of the process to ensure a product…
