Ngenxa yamapulatifomu amasha, amathuluzi kanye nengqalasizinda, ukuletha umkhiqizo wehardware osebenzayo emakethe akukaze kube lula kunalokho obekulokhu kwenzeka eminyakeni eyishumi edlule - kanti umfutho uyaqhubeka nokukhula.
Ngo-2014, ukutshalwa kwezimali kwemali engenayo ekuqalisweni kwezinto zekhompyutha ezixhunyiwe kuphela ifinyelele cishe ku- $ 1.5B - okungaphezu kokuphindwe kathathu inani ebelitshaliwe eminyakeni emibili edlule. Ngokwengeziwe, sibonga intshisekelo ejwayelekile ekhulayo ekwakhiweni kwezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha ezivela emphakathini jikelele ngenxa yemikhiqizo yabathengi eyakhiwe njenge-Apple neNest, abantu abaningi bakleliswa ukuba phakathi kwabokuqala ukuthenga le mikhiqizo emisha futhi babelane ngolwazi lwabo nabangane futhi ngokusebenzisa ezokuxhum.
Njengoba abaningi besho - futhi basazoqhubeka nokusho - "I-hardware yisoftware entsha".
Kepha ngokungafani nokwakha uhlelo lokusebenza, olungakhiwa kusuka kwi-Macbook Air ngemuva kwesitolo sekhofi, ukwenza umkhiqizo wehadiwe kuthatha inani elikhulu lezinsizakusebenza, amathuluzi nesikhala osomabhizinisi abaningi abangatholakali kalula ngaso. Lezi zinto zingasukela ekufinyeleleni kwesoftware ye-CAD, izinto zokusetshenziswa, i-bandsaw kanye nephrinta ye-3D kuze kufike ekuqondeni kwemboni, izeluleko nendawo yokugcina izifanekiselo zabo eziningi zomzimba. Phakathi kwezinye izizathu, yingakho izikhala zabaduni, izikhala zemakers kanye nezixhumi zehadiwe zithandwa kakhulu; banikela ngakho konke okudingekayo ukusiza usomabhizinisi aguqule umqondo abe uhlobo olusebenzayo futhi ngemuva kwalokho, uhlobo olusebenzayo lube umkhiqizo olungele ukukhiqizwa ngesikhathi esifushane kakhulu.
Ukusiza ukusiza labo somabhizinisi ngenqubo yabo yokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo, u-Autodesk umemezele ubambiswano olusha nenqwaba yezindawo zokwakha kanye nama-hardware incubators eNyakatho Melika - kufaka phakathi uHighway1 eSan Francisco, iBolt eBoston ne-AlphaLab ePittsburgh, phakathi kwabanye - ukunikeza osomabhizinisi ukufinyelela kwamahhala nokusekelwa kwesoftware yabo ngenkathi kuthuthukiswa ukwakhiwa kwemikhiqizo yabo.
"Osomabhizinisi bahlala besikhumbuza ukuthi i-Hardware inzima, kepha into eyodwa eyenza ukuprotyper inqubo engenamthungo ngokwengeziwe ngamathuluzi wokuklama nokulingisa enziwa asebenze ngokubambisana kwethu ne-Autodesk," kusho uScott Cohen, ongumsunguli kanye nozakwethu eNew Lab eNew Idolobha laseYork.
“Izinkampani zethu zephothifoliyo, ezifana neFX Industries kanye neHoneybee Robotics, (sezivele) zisebenzisa zonke izinhlobo zesoftware ye-Autodesk - Inventor, Simulation FEA neDFM, Alias, Sketchbook - ukuhamba ibanga ukusuka kumqondo kuya ekukhiqizeni umhlaba wangempela. Amathuluzi esoftware e-Autodesk ahlanganiswe nesitolo sethu sokubonisa izinto senza abakhiqizi basondele kakhulu kuma-prototypes okuqala futhi ngaleyo ndlela basheshise inqubo yokwakha imikhiqizo esebenzayo, enamandla. ”
Yize i-Autodesk ihlale iqinisekisa ukuthi imodeli yazo yamanani entengo ye-Fusion 360 iyabiza kakhulu - uma kungenjalo mahhala - yabafundi, ama-hobbyists, nama-startups, inkampani izophinde inikeze ukuqeqeshwa nokusizwa kwamahhala, usizo losizo kanye nokusiza ekunikezeni izethulo kulabo inethiwekhi yabo ngokusingatha imicimbi ejwayelekile kanye 'nokugcina amahora wehhovisi'.
Lesi simemezelo siza ngemuva kwesimemezelo sabo seDassault Systèmes ISolidWorks yoHlelo Losomabhizinisi.
Ngokungafani nokunikezwa kuka-Autodesk ukuvumela amabhizinisi amasha asebenzise isoftware yawo mahhala futhi nokufinyelela okulula, i-Dassault Systèmes icele ukuthi abafakizicelo ohlelweni lwabo badlule kuma-hoops amaningi afaka amaphepha amade 'wobufakazi' - futhi bakhokhe imali engu- $ 200 'yesicelo'.
Ngenkathi umbono ovela kwaDassault uphana ngokwedlulele lapho kubhekwa inani lelayisense leSolidWorks, inqubo yokugaya iqupha yokungena eSolidWorks for Entrepreneurs Programme ibonakala iphelelwe yisikhathi uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi inkampani ihlinzeka isizukulwane Instacart futhi Uber abasebenzisi abathanda ukusebenziseka kalula nokwenza izinto obala ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye.
Kunoma ikuphi, manje ukuqala kwezingxenyekazi zekhompyutha kungakhetha phakathi kwalokhu okubili noma kusebenzise zombili ngaphandle kobunzima obuningi kakhulu kubhajethi yabo yokuqalisa.
"E-Autodesk, sibona intuthuko ethokozisayo ngaphakathi kwezingxenyekazi zekhompyutha njengengxenye yenguquko enkulu ekwakhiweni kwezinto zonke," kuchaza uMike Geyer, uMqondisi we-Evangelism & Emerging Technology.
“Amathuluzi amasha okwenziwa kwe-prototyping ne-mbumbulu aseyatholakala kuwo wonke umuntu. Ngasikhathi sinye, imikhiqizo iyaqaphela futhi ixhunywe kakhulu - konke njengoba abathengi belindele umuzwa owenziwe ngokwezifiso ngokwengeziwe. Ngenxa yalokhu, sakha ubudlelwano kuyo yonke indawo yezingxenyekazi zekhompiyutha futhi sigxile kuma-incubators nakuma-accelerator ikakhulukazi, njengoba sibabona njengethuba elikhulu lokusiza ekuqhubekiseleni phambili ingxoxo. ”
