Key Benefits
Powerful tools to drive product design and engineering
Software in the Product Design and Manufacturing Collection works together to create exceptional results for product designers and engineers.
Design and engineering
Model your products more intuitively with powerful parametric 3D design capabilities and 2D drafting toolsets. Improve product performance and prevent failures with CAD-integrated engineering tools. Prepare documentation for manufacturing and create high-fidelity visuals for design reviews and marketing collateral.
Digital factory
Capture design decisions early so you can explore different scenarios and outcomes to make cost effective decisions. Use powerful 2D and 3D modeling tools with an extensive equipment library to design an efficient factory layout. Combine building and equipment data in a single digital representation for clash detection and installation scheduling.
Manufacturing
Integrated CAD/CAM automatically cascades design revisions to shorten delivery times and avoiding costly mistakes. Speed up 2D, 2.5D, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CAM programming with automation and user-defined templates built around your best practices. Make global or localized edits to toolpaths without the need for wasteful recalculations and start machining better parts faster.
