About the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection
The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection gives you the power to create your most ambitious ideas, collaborate more efficiently, automate the busywork, and explore more design options than ever before.
Top PD&M Features
Quickly generate high-performing design alternatives
Input your design goals into generative design software and explore possible permutations of a solution.
Generate toolpaths that stay in sync with your 3D model
Set up and generate toolpaths for machining operations that instantly update whenever the design is modified.
Analyze nonlinear stress, dynamics, and heat transfer
Perform advanced simulations to optimize part designs directly from your CAD interface.
What’s In The PD&M Collection
Autodesk Fusion
Autodesk Fusion is an all-in-one 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE platform for product design and manufacturing. It enables collaboration, rapid prototyping, and efficient workflows, helping you bring innovative products to market faster.
AutoCAD
AutoCAD is the industry-leading design software for 2D and 3D CAD drafting. It offers powerful tools for precision drawing, annotation, and customisation, making it the ideal solution for architects, engineers, and construction professionals.
AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical enhances AutoCAD with specialised tools tailored for mechanical engineering. Streamline product design with comprehensive libraries of standard components and automated drafting tasks to improve productivity.
Vault
Vault is a powerful data management tool that centralises CAD files, tracks revisions, and streamlines collaboration. It helps manage design data efficiently, providing secure access control and a robust search function.
Inventor Professional
3D modeling software for designers and engineers
Create, simulate, and document your most ambitious ideas.
Inventor CAM
Inventor CAM integrates seamlessly with Autodesk Inventor, offering professional-grade CNC programming tools. It provides high-performance machining strategies to create accurate, efficient toolpaths for your manufacturing needs.
Inventor Nastran
Inventor Nastran delivers advanced simulation capabilities within Autodesk Inventor. It offers comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) tools to simulate stress, heat, and dynamics, ensuring optimal product performance.
Inventor Nesting
Inventor Nesting provides efficient, automated nesting capabilities within Inventor. Optimise material usage for sheet metal fabrication by generating layouts that minimise waste, reducing production costs and lead times.
Factory Design Utilities
Factory Design Utilities help you plan, design, and optimise factory layouts using 2D and 3D workflows. Improve efficiency by visualising production facilities and validating equipment placement for maximum performance.
