The Autodesk 2010 solution for Digital Prototyping
Take a fast-moving tour through a variety of 2010 software products-along with new capabilities and technology-that are part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping.

Conceptual Design

Design for the Digital Prototype with Autodesk AliasStudio

Use Autodesk® AliasStudio^TM software to capture ideas digitally from project outset and share with the engineering team using a common file format, allowing design data to be incorporated into the digital prototype.

Create Realistic Imagery with Autodesk Showcase

Create accurate, highly realistic product representations from 3D CAD data that enable informed decision making on digital prototypes with Autodesk® Showcase^TM software.

Engineering

Functional Design in Autodesk Inventor

Focus on designing products based on function rather than geometry with Autodesk® Inventor® software. Create digital prototypes by capturing the functional requirements of a design and allowing the software to generate 3D geometry automatically from engineering decisions.

Dynamic Simulation in Autodesk Inventor

Use the tightly integrated calculations, stress, deflection and motion simulation tools in Autodesk Inventor to validate and optimize your designs digitally.

Seamless Integration with AutoCAD Electrical

Since Autodesk mechanical and electrical applications share common file formats and can exchange data seamlessly, mechanical and electrical teams can increase collaboration through the digital prototype.

DWG^TM TrueConnect in Inventor and AutoCAD Mechanical

Streamline communication with suppliers and partners who rely on the DWG design format. See how Autodesk allows you to experience the benefits of Digital Prototyping productivity while protecting investments in 2D designs and AutoCAD® software expertise through true DWG interoperability.

Data Management with Autodesk Productstream

Autodesk® Productstream® software is the digital pipeline that connects workgroups and allows you to share design data as you create a digital prototype. See how Autodesk data management tools provide access to crucial design information, enabling teams to make smarter decisions.

Marketing Communications

Create Marketing Materials with Autodesk 3ds Max

Create stunningly realistic visualizations of products for use in sales and marketing - before actually building anything.
