Features
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping enables manufacturing workgroups to create a single digital model for use at every stage of production with Autodesk® Inventor® software. It helps to bridge the gaps that can exist between conceptual design, engineering, and manufacturing teams.

Uniquely scalable, attainable, and cost effective, you can deploy and integrate the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping with minimal disruption to existing workflows and with a fast path to ROI.

This unique approach to the product development process reduces reliance on physical prototypes and helps bring more innovative products to market ahead of the competition.

  • Create sketches and 3D concept models digitally in an environment comfortable to industrial designers.
  • Bidirectional interoperability between 2D and 3D mechanical and electrical design applications.
  • Read and write true DWG™ files while maintaining full associativity to the 3D model.
  • Intelligent component creation enables you to focus on a design's function, not geometry.
  • Optimize and ensure manufacturability of plastics part and injection mold designs.
  • Optimize and validate a digital prototype with stress and motion simulation.
  • Create and validate more complete digital prototypes with automated routed systems design tools.
  • Better reuse design data and increase collaboration.
