New Digital Prototyping Suites Offer Manufacturers an Affordable, Comprehensive Toolset

Autodesk has launched new Digital Prototyping software tailored for manufacturers, providing cost-effective access to the full range of Autodesk tools. The 2015 Autodesk Manufacturing design suites include the Autodesk Product Design Suite (PrDS), the Autodesk Factory Design Suite (FDS), data management solutions, and a robust Simulation and software portfolio.

“Our suites equip designers and engineers with a complete set of tools and cloud services that simplify design, visualization, and simulation processes from product development through delivery,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, senior vice president of Design, Lifecycle, and Simulation at Autodesk. “With scalable, affordable, and open solutions, our customers can design, manufacture, and sell better products.”

The 2015 design suites come in several editions—Standard (FDS only), Ultimate, and Premium (FDS and PrDS). Both versions feature an enhanced version of Autodesk Inventor, offering powerful improvements to the 3D modeling environment and productivity features based on customer feedback.

Autodesk Product Design Suite Enhances Product Development with Advanced Modeling Tools

In the 2015 release, the Product Design Suite introduces Freeform and Direct Edit modeling, along with improved Sketch tools. These features allow users to quickly create and explore freeform models, modify imported solid models or native files, and shape sketches more efficiently using new constraint tools.

DirectThe new Direct Editing tool allows easy manipulation of geometry, enabling users to move, scale, rotate, and delete parts with greater flexibility.

The Inventor learning experience has also been improved, featuring a personal dashboard and guided tutorials that help users master key workflows faster. Enhancements to parts, assemblies, and drawings further boost efficiency.

“Valiant relies on Autodesk Product Design Suite to stay competitive in the automotive and aerospace industries,” said Andrew Pawelski, CAD Systems Specialist at Valiant. “With over 250,000 parts in our automotive designs, the suite helps engineers focus more on innovation rather than repetitive tasks.”

Autodesk Factory Design Suite Optimizes Plant Layouts and Processes

The 2015 Autodesk Factory Design Suite offers factory customers interoperable layout workflows, cloud-based assets, and advanced visualization tools to improve accuracy and communication. New features include easier migration from legacy systems, extended use of Point Clouds via Autodesk ReCap, and improved Bill of Materials capabilities.

“Dearborn Mid-West uses Autodesk Factory Design Suite to visualize space constraints and position equipment precisely before installation,” said CJ Bagierek, vice president of automotive at Dearborn Mid-West Company. “This reduces rework and saves both time and money while delivering high-quality 3D designs to our clients.”

Autodesk Simulation 2015 Expands Capabilities Across the Product Lifecycle

The 2015 Simulation family includes Autodesk Simulation Mechanical, CFD, Moldflow, and Composites, all designed to integrate smoothly into every stage of product development. Updates include intuitive workflows, enhanced accuracy in mold flow analysis, and support for Linux systems in Simulation Moldflow.
