It's been a few weeks since CES 2026, and you're probably wondering what you missed? Worry not! Hackster's Will Donaldson is back to take over the channel and to eliminate and your FOMO. He’ll share the most exciting new tech, startups, and Fusion updates from his time at the Autodesk booth at CES!
This Hackster Unlocked deep dive takes you straight to the future of consumer product design: Join us as we chat to Jason Lichtman, Senior Technical Specialist for Design & Manufacturing at Autodesk and watch Agentic AI generate complex 3D models (like an air fryer) from a simple prompt. We’ll also see the new Intent-Driven Design Fusion workflow in action and explore how startups like Modue are using these tools to go from student project to market-ready product. We show you how Fusion is bridging the gap between mechanical and electrical engineering like never before!
