Digital Prototyping

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 to the manufacturing process. By using a digital prototype, manufacturers can visualise and simulate the real-world performance of the design with less reliance on costly physical prototypes.

The Autodesk Digital Prototyping Solution allows manufacturing workgroups to create a single digital model that can be used in every stage of production – bridging the gaps which usually exist between conceptual design, engineering and manufacturing teams. It provides the technology to help manufacturers build fewer physical prototypes, reducing design and production costs.
