Authentise has announced the seamless integration of Autodesk Fusion Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) into its Flows production management system. This enhancement enables optimized preparation of design data for manufacturing without interrupting the workflow. Authentise Flows users can check design qualities, generate support structures, nest parts and create machine-specific build files directly within the platform. It is also possible to send designs directly from the Fusion interface to the manufacturing machine, ensuring continuous version control.
“This is a milestone in the evolution of manufacturing and engineering workflows,” says Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise. “Never before have so many individual manufacturing services been accessible in one place. By seamlessly integrating these functions, we’re not only enhancing efficiency and convenience, but we’re also laying the groundwork for a more open, competitive ecosystem. This development is a significant boost for additive manufacturing and beyond. Our collaboration with Autodesk today sets the stage for a new era of innovation.”
This integration is the result of many years of collaboration between Autodesk and Authentise. The new functions allow users to outsource specific tasks to Fusion and use them directly in Authentise Flows. This not only improves efficiency, but also offers greater flexibility in additive manufacturing.
“We are proud to work with Authentise as one of the early adopters of our Fusion API capabilities,” says Alexander Oster, Director of Additive Manufacturing at Autodesk. “With this integration, a tailored and managed end-to-end additive manufacturing workflow is finally a reality. From quoting a design, assigning workflows and work instructions, generating supports and adjusting the design, to nesting, scheduling, and execution, Authentise users can now guide their parts from design to part in one smooth process. Our mission is to deliver a best-in-class mass-market platform solution that is adaptable to any manufacturing vertical. The controlled industries that Authentise is catering to are a great example of how third parties can build their business on top of our developer ecosystem.”
This innovation highlights the potential of software-based production processes and underlines the growing importance of digital manufacturing management systems.
