Rethinking the way businesses approach planning, designing, and manufacturing products is no small feat. Many companies recognize the importance of Digital Transformation, but actually transitioning an entire production process—and gaining the necessary support—can feel like an overwhelming challenge. One major hurdle is that many digital tools are overly complicated and isolated, making change unnecessarily cumbersome. At Autodesk, we’re striving to change this with Fusion 360, our cloud-based platform that combines 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software. At Autodesk University (AU) 2021, we’re highlighting new improvements to Fusion 360 and our broader suite of tools for product designers and manufacturers. These advancements showcase how customers are leveraging these capabilities to create products more efficiently and collaboratively. With these updates, Autodesk is arming product designers, manufacturers, and innovators with the modern tools they need to tackle today's manufacturing challenges and pave the way for a better future. One exciting development is the introduction of two new Fusion 360 extensions: the Product Design Extension and the Simulation Extension. By allowing users to add extensions, Fusion 360 becomes an infinitely adaptable tool. We're excited to preview these new features, which we anticipate releasing early next year. The Product Design Extension will empower users with advanced design tools to automate the creation of intricate features such as lattices and algorithm-driven patterns, which are typically time-intensive using conventional 3D modeling methods. For instance, the Product Design Extension enables users to generate complex elements like lattice structures and parametric patterns automatically, drastically reducing the time spent on manual design tasks. This makes the design process more efficient and accessible, especially for those working on consumer electronics or other industries requiring high levels of detail and customization. The Simulation Extension, meanwhile, offers unrestricted access to existing simulation capabilities under a single subscription model. Previously, simulation features were available only on a pay-per-use basis. Now, designers and engineers have the flexibility to choose the option that best suits their needs, allowing them to explore more avenues for optimizing weight, reducing material costs, and enhancing overall product performance. For example, the Simulation Extension gives users the ability to simulate conditions like thermal stress or mechanical strain, ensuring that products perform optimally before they reach the manufacturing stage. This modular approach to offering robust core functionalities alongside customizable extensions ensures that customers only pay for advanced features when they require them. This model is particularly advantageous for sectors like consumer electronics, where cost management is crucial while innovation remains paramount. Another inspiring story comes from Logitech, a leader in consumer electronics design. They utilized Fusion 360 to develop their recently launched G435 family of lightweight, feature-rich gaming headsets. During AU, Logitech’s principal designer, Seter Wu, will discuss how Fusion 360 isn’t merely a design tool but a transformative asset that enhances their workflow through rapid prototyping and seamless integration into existing processes. The ability to rapidly prototype and visualize changes across departments streamlines communication and accelerates product development cycles. Autodesk’s mission is to meet customers where they are, ensuring compatibility with existing platforms and workflows while simplifying the adoption of cloud-based tools. By leveraging a unified data platform, Autodesk helps today’s workforce adapt to modern design practices without disrupting established infrastructures. Moreover, we’re taking our collaboration with Ansys a step further by previewing plans for a fully integrated PCB design, verification, and validation solution within Fusion 360. This integration will empower users to validate PCB designs using Ansys' industry-leading technology, embedded directly into Fusion 360. It will also provide real-time feedback on electrical performance, helping users catch and resolve errors early in the design phase. This streamlined process not only boosts efficiency but also minimizes costly mistakes, transforming Fusion 360 into a comprehensive platform for designing and validating consumer electronics. Beyond tool development, Autodesk is committed to addressing the critical skills gap in manufacturing. We’re launching four new career certifications aligned with Fusion 360, expanding the curriculum for Machinist and Mechanical Engineering roles. Building on last year’s announcement of the Autodesk Certification Program, these credentials underscore our dedication to empowering manufacturing professionals with self-paced learning opportunities that prepare them for evolving industry demands. These certifications go beyond mere proficiency in specific tools; they validate a holistic understanding of modern manufacturing principles. Employers can trust that candidates not only possess technical expertise but are also prepared for the interconnected roles of tomorrow’s manufacturing landscape. Together, these enhancements underscore Autodesk’s commitment to equipping the leaders, innovators, and designers of tomorrow with the digital tools and knowledge necessary to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. By fostering collaboration, accelerating innovation, and addressing skills shortages, Autodesk is paving the way for a more connected and efficient manufacturing future.

Soaping Agents

Soap washing agent used after dyeing or printing of textiles, the earliest use of soap, soap washing is thus named, because soap is not resistant to hard water, and easy to produce color problems, so it is gradually replaced by the screening of detergent or other surfactants.

The soaping agent has greatly improved the washing effect in textile printing and dyeing industry, but the anti-back stain effect is still not ideal, especially in the soap process, it is easy to occur back-staining problem on white ground, affecting the quality of products. Therefore, different kinds of professional soaping agent are created.
