Informed Design API

Optimize design-to-manufacturing data flows

The Informed Design API allows you to programmatically manage design and manufacturing workflows for building components by offering secure, rule-driven automation, precise data sharing, and faster model-to-production cycles. Publish parameterized models and manage release versions with scoped sharing, enforce rules to generate design variants, subscribe to output-generation and upload events, and fetch or push generated assets to a specific ACC location for streamlined collaboration and easy access.
