Autodesk and M-SIX have partnered! Revit and VEO


Something to get excited about

Veo will get online; and Autodesk is buying in: Wonder if Phil had to go to Canossa.

After six years of Research and Development, M-SIX's VEO™ Platform will launch January 31, 2013.

M-SIX recently closed a Series A investment round led by Autodesk®, a global leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software. This investment has provided M-SIX with the resources needed to scale up our team and operations prior to launch.
