"I was drawing a guitar in AutoCAD and I wasn’t that good in the beginning. I had drawn some splines, but I didn’t know how to convert them yet so I had made them red. I looked at my screen and there it was: a red layer in AutoCAD. And Red Layer Guitars became the name of my company. So there you have it…AutoCAD really is in every part of my life.”
"I’m working on creating artistic projection mapping as a communication medium, to narrate stories on heritage sites throughout Jordan, such as Petra. It’s so dynamic that it never gets old."
“Performing lifecycle assessments continuously throughout the Marmormolen project forced us to reconsider some of the design choices and whether a material here or there was actually needed."
“We’re able to head problems off before they go to fabrication—that’s saved everyone time, money and grief.”
“BIM is being applied in our whole design process, and we are achieving our 3D-design goals for a very complex building. Drawings from the BIM model fully express the entire project to avoid misunderstanding, and the extracted parametric model information instructs the construction with precast fabrication and on-site assembly efficiently and economically.”
“Anyone in structural engineering—and especially those working with steel—will find that the Architecture toolset is the way to go in order to save time and create the most accurate designs possible.”
“You can actually see where there might be conflicts—not just for constructability, but also for maintenance.”
"Much of the complexity was just trying to manage a site plan that was constantly changing and our space allotment was shrinking and shrinking."
"Our company is known for speed of innovation. We didn’t want to develop a commodity implant thatused additive manufac-turing for the sake of trendiness. Our goal was to rethink the design of the implant and use the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing to benefit implant perfor-mance and ultimately im-prove patient outcomes."
“I’ve seen people use regular AutoCAD with lines, and I kind of laugh. You’re putting in all that time and effort to do something that the MEP toolset already does in my opinion. There’s no comparison!”
“It was very euphoric. I’ve met a lot of like-minded people, a lot of whom are my best friends today. We have the same interests and same passions and it’s a really fun environment to work in. So even when you’re working through a stressful problem, there are people around you that make that situation more fun.”
“I’ve been very passionate about robotics programming and tinkering since I was a young child. And ever since joining the robotics team at my high school my freshman year, I‘ve just been in love with it.”
“There are supposed to be 500 thousand robotics jobs by 2020, so it’s definitely something I’ll pursue."
“As the general contractor of China Zun Tower, we focus on technical innovation. We have applied more than 20 new technologies on this project, among which BIM provides us evolutional experience. We work deeply with designers and subcontractors based on BIM models. With BIM's advantage of information integration, we significantly increase efficiency and construction quality. And it also improves the team's capability to handle a super-complicated project like this.”
“AutoCAD is certainly the only way to go with the industry the way it is today.”
