Alias
Impress Clients and Win Business
Build conceptual product models and create high-quality surfaces with a comprehensive set of digital modelling, shape definition, painting, and sketching tools.
Is your design team equipped with the best tools for the job?
Autodesk Alias Design enables you to experiment with ideas, rapidly iterate concepts, refine winning details and create the innovative designs consumers want – faster than your competitors.
"Autodesk Alias Design provides a surface modelling environment that gives you great shape control and yet is dimensionally faithful and sophisticated enough to provide the accuracy of data needed to drive downstream manufacturing processes."
Toby Welles, Founder, Design Core
Have a competitive edge:
- Stay ahead of the competition by consistently producing innovative designs
- Prevent design intent from being lost or altered during the engineering phase
- Deliver projects on time and on schedule
- Collaborate effectively on 3D design data
- Better design, stimulate and visualise products
"A tool can save you time, or be cheaper, but if you lose the character or the feeling of the design from the original sketches, you’ve lost. Using Alias Design for the concept stage let us have accuracy and freedom at the same time."
Tim Doherty, Senior Designer, Magna SteyrDesign
Complete Sketching and Illustration Toolset
Capture and communicate ideas freehand without switching applications. Alias Design has the tools you need—including pencils, paintbrushes, airbrushes, markers, erasers, and special texture and effects brushes—for quick sketching, illustration, and image editing.
Flexible Modelling
Autodesk Alias Design software combines fast, repeatable curve based modelling tools with the ability to directly sculpt 3D models.
Interactive Shading
Use shading models to increase realism and to evaluate surfaces and design forms. Reduce the need for time-consuming renderings with immediate visual feedback. The software supports material colour, texture, glow, incandescence, bump, and displacement, and lets you quickly verify surface conditions such as curvature maps, zebra stripes, and draft angles.
Data Organisation
Improve workflow and performance by organising work, and speeding navigation through complex models. Alias Design helps you categorise and organise model components into layers, for more efficient navigation.
Data Exchange
Exchange digital design data with engineering teams using fast, high-quality CAD translators for industry-standard data formats such as DXF™, IGES, and STEP.
