The event will feature an in depth product session for all delegates in the morning, showing complete digital design workflows from initial layout to finished product, using the new Autodesk Product Design and Factory Design Suites. In the afternoon, visitors will benefit from four separate breakout sessions covering Autodesk inventor tips and tricks; simulation and analysis featuring Autodesk Simulation and Autodesk Moldflow, data management incorporating Autodesk Vault and industrial design including Autodesk Alias . "This is a 'must attend' event for our customers in the manufacturing and mechanical design sectors," concluded Tinsdeall. "We are confident that every CAD manager or user attending will come away feeling it was time well spent."
