In SketchBook Designer, you work with Spline curves. Throughout the process, if you need data management at a workgroup level, you may rely on Autodesk Vault.Īutodesk SketchBook Designer is a professional-level 2D sketching package with a simple, straightforward interface (something of a rarity in professional software). To turn your design into eye-catching presentations, you may use 3ds Max and Showcase to render them into photorealistic images and animations. If your design requires organic shapes and features that cannot be easily produced in mechanical CAD programs, you may turn to Autodesk Mudbox to digitally sculpt them. If your design involves complex surfaces, you may use Alias Design to draw them. You use Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD Mechanical to translate your ideas into 3D prototypes and production drawings. The company envisions engineers and designers using a combination of conceptual sketching, 3D modeling, surfacing, rendering, and visualization tools to bring ideas to reality, with most of the creative process taking place in a digital environment.įor the Product Design Suite, the workflow may look like this: You use SketchBook Designer to sketch out your ideas. The Product Design Suite is an indication of Autodesk’s belief in-and commitment to-digital prototyping. Bundle pricing is $9,995, a deep discount of more than 50%. The Ultimate Edition I’m examining for this article includes Autodesk Inventor Professional, Autodesk Alias Design, Autodesk 3ds Max Design, AutoCAD Mechanical, Autodesk Showcase, Autodesk SketchBook Designer, Autodesk Vault, and Autodesk Mudbox-a lineup that, according to manufacturer suggested retail prices, would cost you more than $21,000 if purchased separately. Take, for instance, the Product Design Suite 2012. There’s no question you’re getting more bang (or byte) for your buck with Autodesk’s suite deals, part of the company’s 2012 releases. Autodesk Inventor 2012 marks the debut of Eco Materials Adviser, a sustainable design solution nested in CAD.
