Maurice Conti, Director of Applied Research and Innovation at Autodesk notes that “two of the problems with programming robots the traditional way are that you need to tell it exactly what you want it to do. And while this isn’t the first time we’ve seen these robots, typically seen in modern day automotive plants, what the Autodesk research team is hoping to achieve with them certainly is new.Īs things stand, robotic arms aren’t necessarily the smartest of creatures. Specifically, Tom was able to get a sneak peak at the future of 3D printing stainless steel with the help of giant robot arms. But it's the Pier 9 Workshop, launched in 2013 and located in San Fransisco, that seems to be pushing things to the next level in thanks to their incredibly diverse and state-of-the art fabrication center.Ī perfect case study of what Autodesk (and similar tech minded companies) get to work with in these facilities was demonstrated by YouTube tech vlogger Tom Scott during his recent visit to Pier 9, as seen in the video below. I recently explored the Toronto based AutoDesk Research facility and was blown away by the sheer number of 3D printers they had on hand to play and develop new technologies with.
Of the companies that fall into this category, Autodesk is one that is doing all they can for 3D printing technology. Over time, I’ve come to realize that these forward thinking companies usually have research departments that get to play with all the newest gadgets while innovating toward the technology of tomorrow.
As a tech geek, there are many software, robotics, and 3D print related companies that would be a dream to work for.
