SAN FRANCISCO—Design and engineering software firm Autodesk plans to expand its San Francisco office space as the demand for 3D modeling and printing grows.

The company says will open a 27,000-square-foot office space on Pier 9, just off the Embarcadero near the new Exploratorium, that will become home to, among other things, the advanced robotics workshop and labs that research nanotechnologies and synthetic biology, the San Francisco Chronicle reports on its website.

Autodesk is still headquartered in San Rafael but has tripled its San Francisco workforce and in the past five years, the Chronicle says.
