About us


Autodesk’s technology centers in San Francisco, Boston, and Toronto, and the PIE Shop at our Portland office, are where we shape the future of making; of manufacturing, of industrialized construction, of design. It’s in these spaces where we bring together our industry, academic, and entrepreneurial communities to explore solutions that will enable people to do more and make better things with less negative impact on the world.

The Autodesk Technical Environments catalyze new possibilities for making through the power of connection. We bring together a global network of innovation leaders, data-enabled fabrication workshops, curated experiences, and forward-thinking ideas to empower innovators in achieving the new possible, together.
