Product Design and
Manufacturing Collection

The collection is a powerful set of applications that provides extended capabilities to Inventor and AutoCAD for engineers who design complex and custom products, equipment, and systems.

​

• Extend Inventor with add-ins for tolerance analysis, simulation, and production layout

• Use connected products for 2D drafting, large-scale design review, and visualization

• Connect to Fusion 360 to access next generation capabilities and collaboration

What can you do with the collection?

Create your most ambitious ideas, collaborate more efficiently, automate busywork, and explore more design options than ever before.

How the collection helps your business

Improve Speed and accuracy of quotations

Automate product configuration to quickly deliver solutions that meet unique customer needs.

Jump into production with ease

Communicate your designs effectively to manufacturing and avoid costly late-stage problems.

Create an uninterrupted flow of data

Build a single digital model from beginning to end, automatically maintaining your audit trail along the way.

Deliver and install without surprises

Identify potential issues up-front to ensure on-time hand over and happier clients.

Professional-grade 3D CAD

Autodesk Inventor is professional-grade 3D CAD software for product design and engineering. Getting Inventor in the collection will provide a complete set of applications that work inside of Inventor for powerful simulation, tolerance analysis, manufacturing tools, and factory planning.

3D CAD

Evaluate the cost impact of dimensional variation

Balance mechanical fit and performance with the cost of tighter tolerances based on an analysis of the cumulative dimensional variation between mating geometry.

Design high-efficiency production line layouts

Plan, install, and manage your entire production process with integrated factory layout, installation sequencing, and analysis tools.

Design High efficiency

Fully understand your product performance and its limits

Choose from a complete portfolio of powerful study types to help you optimize your design before it is released for production.

Implement efficient manufacturing workflows

Streamline the transition from design to manufacturing with integrated tools for generating multi-axis toolpath strategies and sheet metal nests.

Implement
Connected

Connect your 2D and 3D
design tasks

Combine the capabilities of 2D and 3D CAD to integrate electromechanical models, conceptualize designs, and speed up the creation of manufacturing documentation.

View and manage your entire project in one place

Aggregate data from multiple disciplines for collaboration, managing interferences, and scheduling the installation of your equipment.
