Authentise, a leading provider of data-driven manufacturing software, is proud to announce the seamless integration of Autodesk’s Fusion Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) into its production management system, Flows. This integration allows for multiple workflows to prepare designs for manufacturing, all without any interruptions or complications.
Authentise Flows’ users who have access to the integration can now check the design quality, generate support structures, slice, nest, create a machine-specific build file more directly from the Flows interface, and operate directly on live Fusion Data. Other actions, such as adjusting the design or sending the part directly to the machine, can be completed from the Fusion interface, which can be directly accessed via Authentise Flows, with the design already loaded and continuously version-controlled.
The integration builds on a years-long and fruitful collaboration between Autodesk and Authentise. The newly announced capabilities mean that users can go far beyond simple data exchange by picking and choosing which specific functions they want to outsource to Fusion and access those directly from the Authentise Flows.
“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.”
“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.”
