Why Us?

Succeeding in this market requires an intense focus on meeting customer needs. Establishing a product development methodology that effectively utilises a product platform to create a multitude of configurations to adapt to the customer’s needs is paramount. Driving new business and rapidly responding to customers requires eliminating inefficiencies throughout the development process. From initial concept development and bid proposal through to project delivery and post-sales support efficiently meeting customer can means the difference between success and failure. Whether a new product platform or a derivative of an existing one, development teams need the ability to explore a design early in the process and communicate that design with stakeholders and customers. The ability to design, visualise, and simulate a product from the earliest concept phase is a prerequisite to avoiding design errors that may not appear until the physical prototyping stage. Just as important is the ability for multiple disciplines to communicate and collaborate throughout the development process, without recreating data to meet their needs.

The Autodesk Solution for Digital Prototyping

The Autodesk solution brings together design data from all phases of the product development process to create a single digital model. This single digital model simulates the complete product and gives engineers the ability to better visualise, optimise, and manage their design before producing a physical prototype. Digital Prototyping gives industrial machinery manufacturers the ability to virtually explore a complete product before it is built. By using a digital prototype, manufacturers can visualise and simulate real-world performance of the design with less reliance on costly physical prototypes, reducing design and production costs. The Autodesk solution moves companies beyond 3D modelling. It enables manufacturing workgroups to create a single digital model that can be used in every stage of production, bridging the gaps that usually exist between conceptual design, engineering, mechanical design, electrical controls design, and manufacturing teams.

Conceptual Design

In an increasingly competitive and global market, industrial machinery manufacturers need to be flexible and respond quickly to new opportunities, delivering differentiated products that meet customers’ time, cost, and performance requirements.

The Autodesk solution lets you hit the ground running in generating new business and responding to customer needs. It offers you the tools to virtually explore a product in the conceptual design phase, before it’s ever built.

Engineering

To rise above the competition, industrial machinery manufacturers must continually innovate to deliver complex machinery products that meet high standards for reliability, quality, and performance. With the Autodesk solution, you can overcome the unique engineering challenges of designing intricate industrial machinery and test and evaluate the effect of different systems and design configurations, before you physically prototype the product.

By generating engineering and manufacturing documentation directly from the 3D model, you can combine the benefits of associative drawing views with the power and widespread acceptance of the DWG format to help reduce errors and deliver the design in less time. With digital models, you can create, validate, optimise, and manage designs in the engineering phase.

Manufacturing

Getting products to market quickly has become increasingly important for industrial machinery manufacturers. With shrinking market windows and ballooning customer demands, you need to synchronise product design with manufacturing processes so you can deliver high-quality products faster.

Sales & Marketing

Autodesk provides solutions for virtual photography and cinematography that enable marketing teams and creative agencies to market products without the need for costly physical prototypes and photography shoots. These tools effectively re-purpose the digital prototype and allow the development of marketing materials in parallel with product development.
