At Autodesk University 2014, Carl White, then Senior Director of Manufacturing and Engineering at Autodesk, discussed the company's expanding focus beyond design into manufacturing and production. White stated that "Autodesk as a whole is moving beyond just design — we've been 30 years as a CAD company but whether you're in construction or whether you're in manufacturing the whole company is starting to think about how you go make something." He described the company's strategy as "plan, program and produce," noting that Autodesk was investing in areas such as factory design, point cloud work, and machine tool data visualization to help small to medium machine shops become more efficient. White highlighted the importance of the programming and production phases, saying "This is where we decided we'd spend most of our energy because this is where the money's made and lost; cycle times are important here — how fast can I get a part out, how quickly can I program that part, am I going to get a good part?" He also provided updates on product developments, including the release of Inventor HSM Professional with five-axis capabilities, the integration of three-axis CAM into Fusion Ultimate, and the continued growth of the Delcam subsidiary following its acquisition.
