Team “Kringelid” revealed as the best 3D modeller at new Autodesk Fusion 360 competition held at the Estonian University of Life Sciences.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Autodesk Fusion 360 modelling and product design competition has been held for the first time at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, where all technical enthusiasts familiar with this software could test their abilities. After a long day of competition, the team Kringelid was crowned as the most skilled user of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university has been using AutoCAD and other CAD tools since the early 90s and wanted to inspire students to broaden their skill set in mechanical engineering and production technology.\u00a0The competition saw teams create 3D models with Autodesk Fusion 360 software within a given time, as well as prepare some of them for production and supporting technical drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The winning Kringelid team was distinguished from its competitors primarily by its knowledge of modelling techniques and skill in using software. The solutions presented by them corresponded best to those presented in the initial conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The given tasks turned out to be sufficiently complex, no one got bored, and they worked hard on the solutions until the end of the competition. In many cases, we were positively surprised by the solutions proposed by the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Autodesk Fusion 360 software, industrial and mechanical design can be combined and work operations can be programmed for CNC machines without leaving the programming environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Development work in mechanical engineering and production technology has long been impossible without knowledge of such software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although subjects related to AutoCAD software were added to our curricula as early as 1991, CAD technology is constantly being updated and the field is becoming more and more digitized. These changes and trends are also reflected in today’s curricula in the field of engineering at the University of Life Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contribution of the forestry industry, woodworking technology, production engineering and technotronics specialists who graduate from the University of Life Sciences to the development of the country’s economy is undoubtedly very important.\u00a0 As well as increasing familiarity of technology, this new competition a great, and practical way, to increase the popularity these specialties together.<\/p>\nMarek Metslaid, director of the Institute of Forestry and Engineering of the Estonian University of Life Sciences<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
