AutoShape, a Danish startup born out of years of laser processing research at Aalborg University, is developing the CFE-350, an integrated laser-based sheet metal forming machine. By combining process control, automation, and integration in one machine, AutoShape aims to move manufacturing toward a more automated CAD-to-part workflow, reducing the need for multiple machines, tooling, and manual setup.
Using SOLIDWORKS to design the CFE-350, and moving from file-based engineering to data-managed product development with 3DEXPERIENCE, AutoShape is building a strong digital foundation to scale as the company grows. Watch the story to see how the team connects design and manufacturing, and how a modern engineering workflow supports their ambition to transform sheet metal manufacturing.
