Description
In this session, you will learn how to generate all potential Manufacturing Informed Design variants. We'll accomplish this by using Airtable, an intuitive cloud-based data organization and collaboration tool. By integrating Airtable with the power of Manufacturing Informed Design software's implementation of Blockly logic, we will guide you through the rapid generation of a comprehensive table encompassing all valid combinations of your product. Furthermore, we will demonstrate how Airtable can seamlessly interface with the Manufacturing Informed Design API to generate Revit families based on products developed in Inventor, and use the Manufacturing Informed Design website to see each variant that has been placed into the layout. Through this integration, you will witness firsthand the remarkable speed and efficiency gains achieved by caching each variant of your product.
