Autodesk Announces New Developer Offerings and Investments to Fuel Forge Platform
**Public Company Information:**
NASDAQ: ADSK
**SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–**Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADSK) today announced several enhancements to its Forge platform, including new cloud application development tools and services, along with three key investments unveiled at Forge DevCon, the company’s first-ever event dedicated to cloud developers. Since its launch just months ago, the Forge Platform has seen rapid adoption among early users, reshaping how things are designed, manufactured, and constructed.
“A vast range of applications—from part inspection to subsea surveying, drone-assisted mine management to turning cost estimation into a competitive edge—are already being powered by Forge,†said Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President of Products at Autodesk. “It’s evident there’s immense demand for a simple yet scalable platform that can support the creation of countless manufacturing and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) applications. Our APIs, combined with the ingenuity of developers worldwide, are opening up endless possibilities.â€

### **Platform Enhancements**
The **Autodesk Forge Platform** is a suite of cloud services that integrates design, engineering, visualization, collaboration, production, and operational workflows. With APIs and SDKs, developers—both big and small—can craft intuitive cloud-powered apps, services, and experiences tailored to professionals shaping the world around us.
Here are some of the latest additions to the Forge Platform:
- **Viewer**: A web and mobile viewer that displays 2D and 3D design files from over 50 formats, allowing users to collaborate and share designs seamlessly. It also supports commenting, annotations, and measurements.
- **Model Derivative API**: Converts design files into various formats, prepares them for online viewing, and extracts geometry data, making it possible to integrate critical design details into other applications.
- **Design Automation API**: Enables developers to execute AutoCAD scripts in the cloud, automating tasks such as generating drawings for web apps or converting large batches of DWG files into PDFs.
- **Authentication**: An open standard ensuring secure access to third-party apps while protecting user credentials.
- **Data Management API**: Simplifies data flow across A360, Fusion 360, BIM 360 Docs, and the Forge-native Object Storage Service, offering a unified interface for uploading and downloading files.
- **3D Print API**: Streamlines 3D printing workflows, from model preparation to print management, offering tools for mesh repair, slicing, and remote monitoring.
- **Reality Capture API**: Converts photos into 3D data, providing geolocated orthographic views when photos are tagged with location data. The resulting 3D models can be accessed via Autodesk Cloud or third-party platforms.
Autodesk continues to integrate these APIs directly into its products like A360, Fusion 360, and BIM 360, empowering developers to create novel experiences and streamline workflows in product design, collaboration, and construction.

### **Investing in Innovation**
The Autodesk Forge Fund is actively supporting startups and developers creating cutting-edge solutions on or connected to the Forge Platform. Here are the first three recipients:
- **3D Robotics (3DR)**, a leading drone manufacturer, is leveraging the Forge Platform to build one of the most trusted aerial data capture and analytics platforms for professionals in industries like infrastructure, construction, surveying, and energy. Using the Forge Reality Capture API, 3DR enables customers to transform drone-captured images into actionable engineering data, helping businesses better manage sites and mitigate risks. “Today’s site data collection is costly, slow, and often dangerous,†said Chris Anderson, CEO of 3DR. “With drones, we can safely collect data where it’s impractical or risky for human teams. This partnership with Autodesk expands our capabilities to deliver safer, more efficient solutions.â€
- **MakeTime**, an online manufacturing platform, connects buyers to CNC machining services from pre-vetted suppliers. By integrating the Forge Viewer, Data Management API, and Model Derivative API, MakeTime bridges the gap between designers and manufacturers, streamlining the entire production process. “For manufacturers to stay competitive, they need flexible, cost-effective CNC machining that delivers high-quality parts on demand,†said Drura Parrish, CEO of MakeTime. “The Forge Platform complements our data-driven approach, giving anyone access to top-tier machining capabilities anytime.â€
- **Seebo**, a provider of SaaS solutions for IoT and smart product development, uses Forge to connect Autodesk design tools like Fusion 360 with IoT platforms like Fusion Connect. Users can easily incorporate sensors, GPS, and accelerometers into product designs, transforming everyday items into smart technologies. “Joining the Forge ecosystem aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify IoT development,†said Lior Akavia, Co-founder and CEO of Seebo. “Together, Forge and Seebo are democratizing the path to smarter, connected products.â€
