Editor's Note: Raindrops on laser cutters and whiskers on 3D printed kittens; bright copper shavings and warm welding mittens……..

The Novedge Team goes on a field trip to the Autodesk Pier 9 Workshop. These are just few of our favorite things (in no particular order). Lundberg Design - Autodesk 01 - Ryan Hughes

1) The Manhattan Project

This cocktail machine, engineered, prototyped and entirely built at Pier 9, mixes a perfect Manhattan. After 5 pm only.

2) The Hoverboard

It's 2015 and Autodesk delivers the first Hoverboard (all according to Back to the Future 2 plan). Just remember: Hoverboard first , Manhattan Project after; never the other way around.

3) Pier 9 Fashion

4)The Artist in Residence Programhttps://player.vimeo.com/video/102782133

6) The conference room swing

And not just that. We really had fun with Pier 9's structure and its nooks and bridges, masterfully designed by Architect Olle Lundberg.
