If I go to the Autidesk home page, and find a list of their products, will this be in the list? With full customer service support, and all the other support, training and documentation that accompany an Autodesk product?

I read that Autodesk Interns create this program, so I will assume that customer service support, and things in relation to that will not provided. Maybe, in the future, if the program gains some popularity, that these things will be implemented.

Thanks Justin - Let's see what the OP has to say before giving up hope. - I'm not optimistic that it will truly be a "product", but I'll be delighted to receive a pleasant surprise. - Blake

This looks awesome! I'm curious to see how the motion of the various robot components will be implemented in the design exporter.

Fun fact - if you look at the source code for the Downloads page, there's a download link already there, just commented out.

I get the first 3.1 MB downloaded very quickly, but then it stalls. Maybe they're still getting their CDN working.

Fun Fact- That was the Alpha 2.0.0.0 version that was released to anyone willing to try it.

We are releasing the 3.0.0.0 version today.

Will the tutorials on how to import robot CADs and code be available today as well?

I'm doing something similar.
I'm checking every hour on the dot if it's there.

No luck yet...

I know everyone is excited about Synthesis, but the Aftermath training is really cool. I would consider myself a novice and no one on my team is much better than me, so I'm super pumped that the training is in the form of a game. I know my team is going to go wild with this, because I see how Khan academy has switched students from wasting time on Netflix and social media to wasting time learning.

For some reason kids really dig earning imaginary, valueless points!

The download link might still not be available, so I neither confirm nor deny having already installed Synthesis on my computer. But I really need those tutorials though

Excited about letting the Cad team loose on this.

Is there a download link up yet? I can't wait to check it out

Hello guys, girls, and robots,

I am very happy to see that you are all excited and we are working very hard to make sure the first full release of Autodesk Synthesis will be bug free and everything you can imagine!

You may expect a downloadable link posted around 3:30pm - 4:00pm PST
