Autodesk Digital Prototyping

Experience It Before It’s Real

Autodesk Digital Prototyping

   
Digital Prototyping gives manufacturers the ability to virtually explore a complete product before it is built – so they can create, validate, optimise and manage designs from the conceptual design phase through to the manufacturing process. By using a digital prototype, manufacturers can visualise and simulate the real-world performance of the design with less reliance on costly physical prototypes.

The Autodesk Digital Prototyping Solution allows manufacturing workgroups to create a single digital model that can be used in every stage of production – bridging the gaps which usually exist between conceptual design, engineering and manufacturing teams. It provides the technology to help manufacturers build fewer physical prototypes, reducing design and production costs.

Best-In-Class Conceptual Design 

Optimise your design process and work digitally from project outset using best-in-class conceptual design tools from Autodesk.

With Autodesk® Showcase® software, you can quickly evaluate multiple design variations by creating realistic, accurate, and compelling imagery from 3D CAD data—helping reduce the time, cost and need for building physical prototypes. Then interactively view the digital prototype in realistic environments, making it faster, easier and less expensive to review designs and make informed product design decisions.

Integrated 2D and 3D Mechanical

Move beyond 3D and develop complete digital prototypes of products with Autodesk® Inventor® software. The Inventor family of software provides the powerful, cost-effective and easy-to-learn desktop technology engineers need to take advantage of Digital Prototyping.

Inventor software enables engineers to integrate AutoCAD® drawings and 3D data into a single digital model, creating a virtual representation of the final product. Using this single digital model, you can design, visualise, and simulate products digitally. The model serves as a digital prototype that is refined and used to validate design functions, helping to reduce reliance on physical prototypes and
minimise manufacturing costs.
