Autodesk Product Design Suite and Factory Design Suite

Autodesk Product Design Suite and Autodesk Factory Design Suite provide a broad range of cloud services to help manufacturers more efficiently design, build and deliver better products, faster, and at reduced costs.

Autodesk suites provide comprehensive workflows to connect desktops to mobile devices and to the cloud. These workflows enable manufacturing customers to: develop complete definitions of product designs; integrate electrical and mechanical design (to increase productivity); predict product performance; and visualise designs or complete factory layouts in 3D.

Autodesk’s 2013 design suites integrate with Autodesk 360 cloud offerings to better enable collaboration. Cloud-based assets promote design sharing and reuse. The suites also offer interoperability with the new 2013 version of Autodesk Vault product data management software and the company’s next generation, cloud-based alternative, Autodesk PLM 360. Autodesk Vault software enables workgroups to organise, manage and track their engineering CAD data, manufacturing bills-of-material and change processes from a centralised location.

Autodesk Product Design Suite 2013 adds one-click workflows to help users seamlessly move through the engineering design process, advanced cloud-based services for simulation and the inclusion of additional software allowing customers to realise their end-to-end design process.

Autodesk Factory Design Suite brings digital prototyping to the factory floor and enhances AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor software with exclusive access to interoperable, layout-specific workflows, new cloud-based factory asset resources and powerful visualisation and analysis tools that help increase design accuracy, efficiency and communication.
