Autodesk had a big presence at the inaugural Core77 Conference, "Object Culture." Not only was technology futurist Jordan Brandt one of the morning's most energetic presenters, but attendees also had the chance to view a number of innovations from the company in the foyer area of 501 Union, where the Autodesk Fusion 360 team was stationed.

If you didn't get the chance to make it to Brooklyn to see the work in person, here's a look at a few that were on display (you can also check out our recap on the entire one-day event here):

Adam Mugavero Eyeware

It started as an unfortunate accident when Adam Mugavero broke his glasses at a concert. He had been working on a wooden sculpture project and decided to use the remnant wood to fix them. The idea became a much more than a one-time fix and he began hand-sculpting couture eyewear. As his client base expanded and his creative interest in new materials—such as diamond wood, composite wood products, 3D printing and electroplating—grew, he decided it was time to make his eyewear more accessible through manufacturing. He starts by sculpting glasses by hand for a specific person then he reverse engineers the design in Fusion 360 to prep them for manufacturing.

E-Nable Hand

Andreas Bastian is an additive manufacturing researcher based in San Francisco who used his engineering skills and passion for 3D printing to design a new 3D-printed hand for the nonprofit e-NABLE. Hundreds of volunteers have collaborated to design various prosthetic hands for 3D printing over the years through e-NABLE. These hands are primarily created for children suffering from Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS), where one hand is typically missing fingers or has nubbed fingers. With the high price of production with previous technologies and a child's tendency to quickly outgrow designs, 3D printing is a great fit for the task.

Bastian used Fusion 360 to create a parametric prosthetic hand for 3D printing, such that any volunteer can enter in the various parameters that for it, such as each finger's length, width and palm size. The designer can play with the tolerance of the moving parts, so regardless of what printer they're using, the entire hand can be printed in place.

Motorcycle Swingarm

For over six years, the team at Lightning Motorcycles has been on a mission to build two-wheel electric transportation (E2W) that has superior efficiency, performance and is more affordable than current gas alternative vehicles. While their existing motorcycles have won many road racing competitions and set several world speed records, they want to design and build an even faster motorcycle and are using advanced additive manufacturing techniques to do it.

The team has used Fusion 360 to not only push and pull the organic shapes of the swingarm, but also prep the model for manufacturing using both 3D-printed and machined parts. The project is a venture between Jordan Brandt and Lightning Motors R&D.
