(NASDAQ: ADSK) is excited to join forces with the Obama Administration, the U.S. Department of Defense, UI Labs, and multiple partner organizations in launching the Digital Lab for Manufacturing, based in Chicago. This new initiative, led by UI Labs, brings together industry leaders, academic institutions, government agencies, and community groups to create a national center focused on digital manufacturing and design innovation. The lab aims to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing sector by enhancing access to cutting-edge technology, research, and resources through collaborative efforts. "Collaborating with the U.S. government and UI Labs on this groundbreaking Digital Lab for Manufacturing is an incredible opportunity," said Buzz Kross, Senior Vice President of Design, Lifecycle, and Simulation at Autodesk. "We're at a pivotal moment in the transformation of American manufacturing, and our team is committed to supporting innovation through education, training, and technology that empowers industries across the country."
