And, we still anticipate a need to use Inventor, too. Where it makes sense, we’ll be seeing Fusion 360 used as the primary CAD tool of choice for this next go around of manufacturing design. How’s that for Kickstarter backers being involved in the process? So, their first-generation concept to turn the Mk2 into ‘Murricabot is quite literally the same model they are using for their Kickstarter reward. Fusion 360 is a great tool for cranking out design concepts that are highly creative and complex while still producing robust, manufacturable geometry. Instead Megabots will be using on-demand 3D printing to provide their current Megabot vision as one of their Kickstarter sponsor rewards. They weren’t willing to settle for a long lead time manufacturing run to injection mold on last year’s model. Last year we worked with them to make a totally 3D printable version of their “Mark 2” but this time they wanted better. We at Fusion 360 are helping them do it! Gui and Matt recently compleleted a very successful Kickstarter campaign and didn’t want to just settle for providing rewards based on their last generation model. The future is customized and Megabots is proving it.ĭo you want your own mini Megabot? Of course you do. Aesthetics, personalization, sustainability, manufacturing location now have greater impacts as these are important to consumers. Now larger populations are connected and educated about products, and have more choices around which products they purchase. The rise of economic prosperity around the globe has caused consumers to demand it. And they aren’t the only company with this type of customize-to-fit mentality. Can you imagine highly personalized robot warriors representing your city? Megabots can. Megabots long-term vision is to build starter kits to help teams help themselves. Gone are the days of settling for good enough with what you find on the shelf. “We’re building the science fiction sports league of the future, one giant robot fight at a time,” said The future of manufacturing is highly customized. This nimble and collective creation method means their new ideas are brought to market faster, by anyone. They’re using crowd funding to avoid large capital requirements. Megabots found a way to involve those passionate about robots by crowd sourcing the development of their turret cannon (and they used A360 to do it). Organizations like Megabots work collaboratively on design projects across the globe and reacts to local taste and culture to produce on-point content. The future of making relies on communication expansion and connectivity. Building stuff isn’t about secluded teams, tired ideas, and waiting forever to secure lines of credit for prohibitively expensive initial investments. The old ways of making things have changed. Why? Very simply, Megabots personifies the future of making things.
AUTOBOT TRANSFORM AND ROLLOUT FULL
We’ve given them access to our world-class Pier 9 manufacturing facility in San Francisco and given them our full suite of Autodesk software to create. We partnered at Maker Faire San Francisco to delight attendees with the artistic paintball-induced destruction of a car. We hosted them at Autodesk University and used their cannon to fire t-shirts at our attendees. We’ve been big fans since we first met Gui and crew working out of Artisan’s Asylum in Boston. Autodesk is super serious about our love of Megabots. “We’ve been working with the MegaBots guys since the beginning and we’re gonna make sure they haveall of the hardware and software they need to beat KURATAS!” – Carl Bass, CEO of Autodesk Now, the two companies just need to make their robots combat ready. That dream is one-year away.” – Matt Oehrlein, Co-Founder of Megabots. “You grew up hoping that the giant robot battles of science fiction would become real, and we did too. And there have been over 1,100 news articles published.
Between them, their two challenge videos have been viewed almost 10 million times. Suidobashi, who call their giant robot the “Kuratas,” accepted. Last month you very probably saw the epic, unapologetically American challenge issued by Megabots via YouTube to Japan-based Suidobashi Heavy Industries proposing the two companies have their two giant 15 ft robots fight.
