Public Company Information: NASDAQ:ADSK   SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Build Conference \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>In two separate but related efforts to advance the future of digital and physical creation,\u00a0Autodesk, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ:ADSK) announced it is working with\u00a0Microsoft Corp.<\/a>\u00a0to embed its 3D printing platform in Windows 10, and that it intends to make its 3D modeling software interoperable with Microsoft\u2019s mixed reality environment,\u00a0Microsoft HoloLens<\/a>. In the first initiative, Autodesk will embed its\u00a0Spark<\/a>\u00a03D printing software platform in Windows 10. This effort will provide Windows users with direct access to optimized and more reliable 3D printing experiences that streamline the additive manufacturing process for a variety of software, material, and printer choices. Autodesk will make the Spark APIs available for free* to the Microsoft developer community to build upon, extending the reach and growth of the 3D printing industry. Further, to their combined goal of making 3D printing more accessible, Autodesk will also join Microsoft as a founding member of a 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) Consortium to create and support a standard 3D interchange and printing format. “We\u2019re approaching a tipping point with 3D printing, which means there is a huge market opportunity waiting for companies developing applications for Windows 10,\u201d said Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President of Developer Platform & Evangelism and Chief Evangelist for Microsoft. \u201cBy providing the 3D printing building blocks found in the Spark platform and optimizing it for Windows 10, Autodesk has empowered our global developer community to confidently enter this new world of additive manufacturing.\u201d The second initiative is aimed at bringing 3D models from Autodesk software into the virtual reality environment of\u00a0Microsoft HoloLens<\/a>. Digital models using software such as\u00a0Autodesk Maya<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Fusion 360<\/a>\u00a0could then be viewable in the mixed reality environment enabled by HoloLens. For game developers and filmmakers, this may accelerate the creation of a new generation of entertainment experiences. For designers and engineers, this may make it possible to digitally view a full scale model during the up front design phase of product development, cutting down on the time and cost required for physical prototypes before fabrication. In the future, designers and engineers could create 3D models of their ideas with Autodesk software, like\u00a0Fusion 360<\/a>, view the models with HoloLens, and prep them for 3D printing on Spark-compatible printers. \u201c3D printing is incredibly promising, but also still too complex and unreliable. This relationship is a key step in making 3D printing easier and more accessible to businesses and individuals alike,” said Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager, Consumer and 3D Printing, Autodesk. \u201cTogether with Microsoft and its global community of developers, we have an opportunity to tackle the complexities of 3D design and printing head-on to improve how things are made and even change the very nature of what we create.\u201d About Autodesk<\/strong> Autodesk helps people imagine, design and create a better world. Everyone\u2014from design professionals, engineers and architects to digital artists,\u00a0students and hobbyists\u2014uses Autodesk software to unlock their creativity and solve important challenges.
