• Advanced shape description – Combine solids and surfaces to create a range of complex geometries.
• Import from Alias Family of products – Work directly with exterior surface data, and easily import surfaces created by industrial designers using Autodesk® Alias® software.
• Sculpt tool – Construct 3D part geometry from closed set surfaces, and incorporate imported surface data into the model using the Sculpt tool to add or remove material.
• Surface quality analysis – Create models with high-quality surface characteristics, and check design data for manufacturability.
• Technical plastic features – Generate multiple-element features for molded plastic parts in a single step. Easily add grills, bosses, lips, rests, and snap-fits to plastic parts.
• Rule fillets – Speed up the creation of fillets on machined and molded parts, and make changes to parts without having to recreate the fillets.
• Optimize mold design – Powered by Autodesk® Moldflow® injection molding simulation technology, determine ideal gate locations, mold filling characteristics, and manufacturing process parameters.

• Streamline the design of plastic injection molds
• Simulate and optimize your mold design before machining
• Leverage standard mold base components
• Automate generation of your mold documentation
