Autodesk Technology Centre: A new frontier for design & manufacture

The latest Autodesk Technology Centre (ATC) is based in Birmingham, what many people still consider to be the heart of UK manufacturing.
The location isn’t a coincidence. It represents a very clear message of support for British industry from the global software company, in our skills, capabilities and potential future growth. That Europe lies just a short distance across the Channel probably also helps.
The center also isn’t strictly new in the truest sense. The site previously housed Delcam’s highly prized Advanced Manufacturing Facility, which Autodesk acquired via its $300m purchase of Delcam in November 2013.
Though, that’s not to belittle the size of Autodesk’s investment. Having previously visited Delcam’s AMF, it’s clear to see where the undisclosed ‘multi-million-pound figure’ has been spent over the past 12 months.
