Digital Prototyping & Product Visualisation Tools

Autodesk® Product Design Suite Premium 2012, with Autodesk® Inventor® 3D mechanical design software, provides designers and engineers with a complete set of product design and visualisation tools for Digital Prototyping in a convenient, cost-effective package.

• Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion technology—Provides intuitive direct manipulation capabilities, direct 3D product modelling for rapid design changes, and unites direct and parametric workflows within a single digital model.
• 3D product visualisation and design communication—It’s easy to create renderings and animations that convey ideas to managers, explain designs to manufacturers and persuade customers.
• Rules-based design and automation tools—Accelerate the design process and enable engineers to focus on design intent rather than modelling geometry manually. Integrated Inventor iLogic™ technology enables you to capture and embed industrial design engineering knowledge directly into virtual prototypes.
• Accelerated 2D mechanical design—With comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common design tasks, AutoCAD® Mechanical design software accelerates the mechanical design process.
• Manage design data more effectively—Create and manage crucial parts lists and bills of materials (BOMs).
• Explore design concepts and produce stunning illustrations—Paint and draw with a robust digital sketchbook.
