Software corporation Autodesk<\/a> is partnering with Factory_OS<\/a>, a modular construction startup in San Francisco, California.<\/p>\n

With this investment, Autodesk is supporting the build out of Factory_OS\u2019 Factory Floor Learning Center, a space for education and research on industrialized construction and changes needed in public policy. This work will be led by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation<\/a> with the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley).<\/p>\n

The investment also establishes a team to scope and plan for a new Rapid Response Factory to meet the demand of quick turnaround housing solutions following natural disasters and emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on Factory_OS\u2019 existing use of our tools, we will work together to identify new software collaborations to streamline the design, fabrication, and supply chain management of offsite construction,\u201d said Autodesk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
