Public Company Information: NASDAQ: ADSK --- "We hope that exploring these invaluable artifacts, heirlooms, fossils, and scientific specimens in 3D will spark greater public curiosity and learning about science and technology—especially among students," said Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President at Autodesk. WASHINGTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK), in collaboration with the Smithsonian, has launched the Smithsonian x3D Explorer, an interactive 3D educational tool accessible to everyone via the web. This innovative platform was exclusively developed by Autodesk for the Smithsonian to make prized specimens more widely available and bring their stories to life. Now, the public can engage with these extraordinary objects like never before, from viewing behind-the-scenes details to even holding 3D-printed replicas. 3D technology is transforming museums in the same way it has revolutionized industries like entertainment, manufacturing, and architecture. The Smithsonian aims to lead this transformation and inspire new ways of experiencing cultural and scientific heritage. "Digitally capturing our extensive and diverse collection of artifacts is a top priority," stated Gunter Waibel, Head of the Smithsonian Digitization Program Office. "By working with Autodesk, we can now share our collections with far more people than ever before. We hope the Smithsonian x3D Explorer will enhance education and research in ways we couldn't have anticipated." Autodesk actively supports various museums and heritage organizations by leveraging its reality computing technology to preserve and protect cultural artifacts, structures, and fossils. Creating detailed 3D models ensures that some of the world's most cherished artifacts and scientific specimens housed in the Smithsonian's collection will be preserved and made accessible globally, enriching education and research for future generations. Less than 1% of the Smithsonian's collection is typically on display at any given time, and many objects may never be showcased physically. Digitally presenting these items opens up a world of educational opportunities and explorations like never before. While a significant portion of the organization's "flat" objects such as photographs or documents have been digitized, most of the Smithsonian's collections consist of 3D objects. Autodesk collaborated with the Smithsonian to develop an entire web experience: a virtual museum complete with galleries, guided tours, research data, and a 3D object explorer. The x3D Explorer initially features 3D models of 21 representative objects from the collection. The Smithsonian’s x3D Explorer provides stunning 3D models of historical treasures and scientific specimens, freely available to anyone for viewing, studying, interacting with, visually manipulating, and sharing. Many of these 3D models can be downloaded for personal and educational purposes, including creating physical objects through 3D printing. For instance, classrooms worldwide can now work with educational replicas of these artifacts, potentially inspiring students to delve deeper into the vast collections of science, technology, engineering, and anthropology held at the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian Digitization Program Office is tasked with digitizing as much of the institution's collections as possible, but the sheer scale of the collection poses a significant challenge. To address this, the office relied on Autodesk ReCap and Autodesk Maya solutions to efficiently and swiftly capture artifacts using photos and transform them into detailed 3D models that can be viewed in "Hollywood-style" quality through the x3D Explorer. --- **About Autodesk** Autodesk empowers individuals to imagine, design, and create a better world.
