Termobrasa Increases Efficiency and Removes Paper Trail with Prodsmart and Fusion 360
Termobrasa was founded 50 years ago in a small warehouse in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. The company’s humble beginning was the manufacturing of a novel water heater design, which later expanded to include an array of energy-efficient solutions, including heat pumps. However, the global COVID-19 pandemic prompted a substantial shift in its operating methods, accelerating digitalization beyond what the team could have ever imagined.
Metals for Electric Vehicle Batteries Remain a Challenge; Nth Cycle Delivers a Domestic Recycling Solution
Nth Cycle believes all the critical metals needed for the energy transition are already in circulation today. With support from the Autodesk Foundation and Autodesk’s Technology Impact Program, Nth Cycle is taking an innovative, sustainable, and scientific approach with Fusion 360 at the core of its development process. They’ve created a new solution that allows miners to be more sustainable and provides a reliable domestic source of metals to fuel the growth of a clean energy transition.
Kawai Plastic Industry Uses the Fusion 360 Simulation Extension to Prevent Short Shots in Injection Molding
Kawai Plastic Industry is a Japan-based company focused on the manufacture and processing of plastic injection molded products, such as automobile parts. As the manufacturing industry evolves, the team enthusiastically absorbs new knowledge and adapts new technology when necessary. With the help of the Fusion 360 Simulation Extension, Kawai Plastic Industry was able to reduce trial injection runs by 25% and improve cost efficiency.
