PDM Collection
Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection
The Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing collection is a suite of software tools for product design and manufacturing professionals. It includes industry-leading tools such as AutoCAD, Inventor, and Fusion 360 for creating detailed drawings, models, and simulations of products. Additionally, it includes tools for advanced manufacturing such as CAM software for CNC machining, and simulation tools for testing the performance of products in a virtual environment. The collection is designed to help professionals throughout the entire product development process, from initial concept design to final manufacturing.
Increase Productivity
One of the keyways the collection helps to increase productivity is by providing professionals with a single integrated platform that can be used to design, engineer, and manufacture products. This eliminates the need to switch between multiple software tools and reduces the time and effort needed to complete tasks.
Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities
The Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection includes advanced manufacturing capabilities that can be used to optimize the performance of products, reduce the number of prototypes needed, and minimize the risk of errors. These capabilities include:
Improve Competitiveness
One of the keyways the collection helps to improve competitiveness is by providing businesses with access to powerful and flexible design and manufacturing tools that can be used to create high-quality products with precision and accuracy. This can help businesses to produce products that are more competitive in terms of quality, performance, and cost.
CNC machining
The collection includes advanced CAM software that can be used to create detailed CNC toolpaths for milling, turning and other manufacturing processes. This allows users to create parts and components quickly and accurately from a wide range of materials with high precision and repeatability.
Simulation tools
The collection includes simulation tools that can be used to test the performance of products under different loads and conditions. This can help to identify potential issues before they occur and optimize the performance of products. This can also help to reduce the number of prototypes needed and minimize the risk of errors. All these capabilities can be used together to create a more efficient and cost-effective product development process that can help businesses to produce high-quality products in a shorter time and at a lower cost.
3D printing
The collection also includes support for 3D printing, which allows users to quickly create physical prototypes and test their designs before committing to the final manufacturing process. This can help to speed up the product development process and reduce the number of prototypes needed.
