Factory fabrication designs by a student unveiled at Autodesk University
In a remarkable display of innovation and collaboration, a group of industrial design students from a prestigious university have created a revolutionary device - the Autodesk MultiMeasure. This compact, hand-held tool, designed to simplify complex measurements, was chosen as the Factory Experience product at Autodesk University 2025.
The Autodesk MultiMeasure, a product of an experimental studio course at the university, is a testament to the fruitful partnership between the institution and Autodesk, a partnership that has been ongoing for over 12 years. The collaboration not only enhances student learning opportunities but also provides faculty with valuable insights into the skills necessary for students to succeed in their careers.
The device, which combines a rotating arm with integrated distance and color sensors, a rotary encoder, and an LCD display for real-time measurement and feedback, was developed through a course collaboration between the university students and Autodesk. The project was spearheaded by fourth-year industrial design major, Ethan Solodukhin, from Westchester, N.Y., who is also an Autodesk student ambassador.
Solodukhin's design prowess was evident in his Revo chair, which was showcased by Autodesk at various industry events. His work with Autodesk opened many doors for him, adding valuable experience to his resume and portfolio.
The Autodesk MultiMeasure was prototyped in January 2023, following the T-Minus challenge, and was further developed in partnership with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The tool was officially launched during Autodesk University 2025, held in Nashville, Tenn., where it attracted the attention of the conference's 11,000 attendees.
Todd Jokl, dean of the College of Art and Design, praised the collaboration, stating that it is a great example of technology, the arts, and design converging with successful outcomes. The partnership has not only benefited the students but also Autodesk, as the company showcased the innovative device to professionals from various industries, including architecture, engineering, construction and operations, product design, manufacturing, and media and entertainment.
For those interested in the university's design programs, more information can be found on the School of Design website. For more details about the Autodesk MultiMeasure, visit the Autodesk website. The future of design and measurement looks bright, thanks to this remarkable collaboration.
