At Autodesk University, we recently celebrated the winners of the 2020 Autodesk Excellence Awards for Product Design & Manufacturing. These remarkable companies were honored for their innovative approaches that are reshaping the future of design and manufacturing. Discover how these trailblazers are harnessing the power of new technologies to drive progress and change.

INNOVATOR OF THE YEAR

Hyundai Motor Group New Horizons Studio, Mountain View, CA

Hyundai’s New Horizons Studio Unveils a Walking Car Concept

A few years ago, Hyundai asked a bold question: “What if cars could walk?” That idea has now become a reality with the development of Elevate, an entirely new kind of vehicle. The New Horizons Studio at Hyundai is leading the way in innovation with this groundbreaking concept.

Elevate can transform into a four-legged walking machine, enabling it to navigate terrain that traditional off-road vehicles cannot. No other vehicle in the world can switch between reptilian and mammalian movement while still functioning as a regular car. To achieve this, the team used Autodesk generative design technology to create lightweight, durable legs capable of handling the torque from electric motors.

While the primary goal was to develop a vehicle for disaster relief, Elevate's potential extends far beyond emergency situations. It opens up new possibilities for exploration and mobility in areas previously inaccessible by conventional vehicles.

INDUSTRY DISRUPTOR

Briggs Automotive Company, Speke, Liverpool, UK

Creating the Ultimate Supercar with BAC Mono

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) designs and builds the BAC Mono, a high-performance, street-legal race car weighing just 570 kg. The UK-based team constantly looks for ways to reduce weight and enhance performance.

For the latest version of the Mono, BAC used generative design in Fusion 360 to create its wheels. By defining performance requirements, materials, and fabrication methods, the team explored multiple design options. The result is a wheel that not only fits BAC’s aesthetic but is also 35% lighter than the previous model and can be manufactured on a 5-axis CNC mill.

This reduction in wheel weight helped BAC cut 10.5 pounds from the overall car weight, making it faster and more fuel-efficient.

ENGINEERING THE IMPOSSIBLE

Firefly Aerospace, Briggs, Texas

Building a 21st Century Aerospace Company

Firefly Aerospace is challenging the notion that only a few players can dominate the private space industry. Based outside Austin, Texas, the company is rapidly advancing toward its first launch of Alpha, a small satellite launch vehicle.

With over 300 employees led by co-founder and CEO Tom Markusic, Firefly is working at an incredible pace. Its engines produce 1 million horsepower—equivalent to 1,000 high-performance sports cars running simultaneously. When paired with lightweight carbon fiber stages, Firefly can build a rocket in just nine days.

Autodesk Inventor enables Firefly’s engineers to work at breakneck speed, while Vault helps streamline collaboration across teams. With Alpha set to launch in late 2020, the team is pushing the boundaries of aerospace engineering.

INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

Reynaers Aluminium, Duffel, Belgium

Streamlining Building Product Design Through Digital Transformation

Reynaers Aluminium develops sustainable aluminum systems for windows, doors, and curtain walls. With over 2,300 employees and operations in more than 70 countries, the company has been steadily growing.

Managing such a vast product portfolio requires maintaining nearly 50,000 pages of documentation. Each new product system includes around 800 pages of information, making it increasingly difficult to track and manage.

By integrating tools from Autodesk’s Product Design & Manufacturing Collection with other enterprise systems, Reynaers has created a centralized source of information for both teams and customers. This digital transformation has streamlined processes, automated workflows, and reduced manual errors.

MAKING A BETTER WORLD

The Ventilator Project, Boston, MA

Volunteers Around the World Unite to Solve the Ventilator Shortage

The Ventilator Project was launched to address the global shortage of ventilators caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, over 200 volunteers from around the world have joined forces to tackle this urgent challenge.

Using donations raised through fundraising campaigns, the team is developing a low-cost, scalable ventilator called "AIRA." Initial prototypes were built quickly, with input from medical professionals helping to refine each version rapidly.

Remote volunteers worldwide used Autodesk Fusion 360 to collaborate on the design. The team is confident in AIRA’s future and is now awaiting FDA approval to begin production.
