Autodesk Accelerator Program

We have been accepted to the Autodesk Cloud Accelerator program from March 14 to 18, 2016 in San Francisco, CA. During the Accelerator, we will be working intensively on a specific project to integrate our mobile apps with the Autodesk Forge platform with the help, support and training of the Autodesk Cloud Engineering team. By the end of the week, we hope to have a working prototype in-hand.

The Autodesk Forge platform is a set of Autodesk Cloud Services, APIs and SDKs for developers to create data, apps, experiences and services that power the future of making things. The Forge platform includes tools that:

1. Visualize: Interactively visualize data, create photo-real renderings and generate 3D models from your apps.
2. Collaberate: Application APIs for project and file access. SDKs to extend Autodesk Cloud Services with collaboration workflows.
3. Make: Turn designs into physical reality.
4. Use: Connect, analyze, control, and manage remote products, things, and assets.

We will be taking advantage of the View and Data API. This API allows users to create custom web applications that enable customers to visualize and interact with 2D and 3D design data in a web browser or on a mobile device. No downloads or plug-ins required. The View and Data API supports over 60 file formats to bring detailed, high-fidelity visualizations of models - right within the browser experience. The REST and JavaScript APIs make it easy to quickly develop web applications.

We plan on integrating one or more of our mobile apps with the Autodesk View and Data API. More details to follow...
