Digital Prototyping gives manufacturers the ability to virtually explore a complete product before it is built. By using a digital prototype, manufacturers can visualize and simulate real-world performance of the design with less reliance on costly physical prototypes, reducing design and production costs.

The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping moves your company beyond 3D modeling. 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.
