China Construction Eighth Engineering Group led a remarkable undertaking for construction of the museum to preserve and honor the artifacts found there. Using a connected digital workflow from design through operations including a digital twin, China Construction Eighth Engineering Division cut the timeline from 36 to 16 months, saved 20 million yuan, and reduced material waste by 23 percent. The team also generated digital replicas of 1500 artifacts, powering an immersive virtual museum that\u2019s attracted millions of online visitors worldwide.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"> <div id=\"attachment_54182\" style=\"width: 2016px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54182\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54182\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2006\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction.jpg 2006w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction-1536x861.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/China-Construction-700x393.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2006px) 100vw, 2006px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aerial rendering of the Sanxingdui Museum.

They\u2019re helping to solve this by automating design processes using iLogic in Autodesk Inventor. Creating designs for parts used to take two or three days with manual processes and relied heavily on designer expertise. Using iLogic, the team can do the same work in 30 minutes with fewer errors, less rework, and fully standardized outputs, even with less skilled designers in charge. Now, Sansera can scale its design and production to meet the needs of their customers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><strong>Looking ahead\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p ><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At Autodesk, we\u2019re proud to partner with some of the world\u2019s most visionary designers, makers, and innovators.
