Workflow Overview

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 the manufacturing phase of the product development process. By using a digital prototype, manufacturers can boost design efficiency and innovation by visualising and simulating the real-world performance of a design, and save time and money by reducing the number of physical prototypes they build.

The Autodesk approach to Digital Prototyping is unique in that it is scalable, attainable, and cost-effective, allowing a broader group of manufacturers to realise the benefits of Digital Prototyping with minimal disruption to existing workflows, and providing the most straightforward path to creating and maintaining a single digital model.
