**Platform Developments**
The **Autodesk Forge Platform** offers a suite of cloud-based services designed to seamlessly connect workflows in design, engineering, visualization, collaboration, production, and operations. Its APIs and SDKs empower developers—both big and small—to craft intuitive, cloud-enabled applications, services, and experiences tailored for the people shaping the world around us.
Key advancements in the Forge Platform include:
- **Viewer**: A web and mobile tool capable of rendering 2D and 3D design files from over 50 file formats, allowing for real-time collaboration, annotations, and measurements.
- **Model Derivative API**: Converts designs between formats, prepares files for online viewing, and extracts geometric data for integration into other systems, enabling richer insights into design details.
- **Design Automation API**: Leverages the power of AutoCAD in the cloud, empowering developers to automate repetitive tasks like generating drawings or converting DWG files to PDFs en masse.
- **Authentication**: An open-standard protocol ensuring secure third-party access while maintaining user privacy.
- **Data Management API**: Streamlines data handling across A360, Fusion 360, BIM 360 Docs, and Forge's native storage service, offering a unified interface for seamless uploads and downloads.
- **3D Print API**: Provides end-to-end solutions for 3D printing, from model preparation to remote monitoring and production management, with tools for mesh repair and slicing.
- **Reality Capture API**: Converts photo sets into detailed 3D data, especially useful when geotagged photos from drones are involved, offering both orthographic views and geospatial accuracy.
Autodesk also continues to integrate Forge APIs into core products like A360, Fusion 360, and BIM 360, enabling developers to craft innovative experiences that enhance product design, collaboration, and construction workflows.
