Digital Prototyping |
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping brings together design data from all phases of the development process into a single digital model created in Inventor. This single digital model simulates the complete product and gives engineers the ability to better design, visualize, and simulate their product with less reliance on costly physical prototypes - thereby improving time-to-market and increasing competitive advantage.
Inventor-based Digital Prototyping solution, helps you:
The Autodesk approach to Digital Prototyping is scalable, attainable, and cost-effective, allowing a broader group of manufacturers to realize the benefits of Digital Prototyping with minimal disruption to existing workflow's.

Autodesk® Inventor® software takes manufacturers beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by giving engineers a comprehensive and flexible set of tools for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling, visualization and documentation. With Inventor software, engineers can integrate 2D AutoCAD® drawings and 3D data into a single digital model, creating a virtual representation of the final product that enables them to validate the form, fit, and function of the product before it is ever built. Digital Prototyping with Inventor software enables you to design, visualize, and simulate products digitally, helping you to build better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.

Design and shape the world around you with the powerful, flexible features found in AutoCAD® software, one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D design applications. With robust 3D tools that can create almost any shape imaginable, AutoCAD helps you intuitively explore design ideas. It offers innovations that can increase design and documentation efficiency, and enables you to more securely, accurately, and seamlessly share those designs with colleagues. Powerful programming tools and thousands of available add-ons provide the ultimate in flexibility, helping you customize AutoCAD software for your specific needs. With these capabilities and more, AutoCAD delivers the power and flexibility needed to take documentation and design further.

AutoCAD® Mechanical is AutoCAD® software for manufacturing, purpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design process. It includes all the functionality of AutoCAD, a world leader in CAD software, plus a comprehensive set of tools for automating mechanical engineering tasks, such as generating machine components, dimensioning, and creating bills of material. AutoCAD Mechanical provides a library of more than 700,000 standard parts, supports multiple international design standards, and enables users to detail and document digital prototypes created in Autodesk® Inventor® software. AutoCAD Mechanical offers engineers a competitive edge by helping save hours of effort, so they can spend time innovating rather than drafting.

AutoCAD® Electrical is AutoCAD® software for controls designers, purpose-built to create and modify electrical control systems. It contains all the functionality of AutoCAD, the world’s leading CAD software, plus a comprehensive set of tools for automating control engineering tasks, such as building circuits, numbering wires, and creating bills of material. AutoCAD Electrical provides a library of more than 650,000 electrical symbols and components, includes real-time error checking, and enables electrical and mechanical teams to collaborate on digital prototypes built with Autodesk® Inventor® software. AutoCAD Electrical offers control engineers a competitive edge by helping save hours of effort, so they can spend more time innovating.

Help maximize return on your company’s investment in design data by driving design reuse
with the Autodesk® Vault product line. The product family consists of Autodesk® Vault,
Autodesk® Vault Workgroup, Autodesk® Vault Collaboration, and Autodesk® Vault
Professional. The Vault product family helps design and engineering workgroups manage
the creation, simulation, and documentation processes. Users can reduce time organizing
models and files, manage change processes to avoid costly mistakes, and more efficiently
release and revise designs. The data management software can be deployed as a
standard configuration or tailored to unique requirements, enabling users to become
productive more quickly, providing a faster return on investment.
