Autodesk and Lego make the first 3D assembly instructions possible

Interactive building instructions, based on Autodesk Inventor Publisher technology, provide an alternative to traditional manuals, providing the experience of building like in real life. Proof of this is the agreement signed with Lego.

Autodesk has closed an agreement with Lego for the development of a new digital platform designed to offer a new experience in the construction and programming of Lego Mindstorm EV3 robots using assembly manuals and 3D instructions.

Interactive building instructions, based on Autodesk Inventor Publisher technology, provide an alternative to traditional manuals, providing the experience of building like in real life. Available through a mobile app for iOS and Android and on the web Mindstorm.com, The Lego 3D construction manual allows you to see in detail how the pieces combine and fit together, simplifying assembly, even, of the most sophisticated robot.

El software Autodesk Inventor Publisher, which offers an alternative to traditional instructions by generating interactive 3D instructions that run on the iPad, Android devices and on the web, improves building instructions.

Interact with Lego bricks

With the Autodesk application, You can play and interact digitally with the now classic bricks at every step of the construction process. Whenever, Lego Mindstorms builders can stop animation, zoom in or out on a particular part or rotate it to see exactly which pieces need to be snapped together, which allows us to know in what way it will make the most sense to build depending on each one. Additional features aimed at providing a fun gaming experience for LEGO users include just a double click, a part of component information, and a map feature that allows users to see exactly what part of the model is being worked on.

In addition to the famous Lego bricks, The Lego Mindstorm EV3 set contains a large number of pieces, including engines, infrared sensors and a programmable microcomputer, that allow children to create robots that walk, move or perform any action for which they are programmed.

Lego relies on digital signage to promote Star Wars

Lego has organized a big show in Times Square to promote its Star Wars collection. Full-scale replicas of ships from the saga, actors dressed in the characters have revived galactic history in this Manhattan plaza.

And to support all this staging, large screens were installed that, making use of digital signage, they recreated the story.
