Autodesk Product Design Suite 2013 is a comprehensive solution for Digital Prototyping, delivering 3D design, visualization, and simulation tools to complete your entire engineering process. 

Autodesk^® Product Design Suite is available in three different configurations to match your exact needs; Standard, Premium, and Ultimate. These suites feature award-winning 3D design, visualization, and simulation software to complete a robust solution for digital prototyping of the entire product design workflow. Standard Edition provides designers with foundational design and drafting tools. Premium Edition adds 3D design and visualization capabilities. Finally, Ultimate Edition delivers advanced surfacing, simulation, and tooling for unbeatable design quality.


The Product Design Suite allows designers and engineers to create a highly effective and efficient workflow. With the close integration of Autodesk^® software you can seamlessly complete the design process. Stunning concepts can be created in Autodesk^® Sketchbook^® or Autodesk^® Alias^® Design, transferred to Autodesk^® Inventor^® for engineering processes, and exported to Autodesk^® 3ds Max^® for rendering and presentation. Along the way, Autodesk^® Vault manages the data and orchestrates engineering processes such as change orders.

Benefits:

• The industry's best 3D design tools help bring products to market faster and more successfully
• All the tools necessary for a complete design workflow in one cost effective package
• Reduce the burden on IT departments by rolling out a single, standard solution
• Significantly better value compared to purchasing products separately
• Integrated tools that eliminate translation issues and work in sync
• The suite is a highly scalable solution, based on specific needs
• Provide employees with award winning tools that help them reach goals faster

The Autodesk Product Design Suite is a comprehensive and cost-effective design solution for designers and engineers responsible for creating remarkable products.

	Comprehensive Design Authoring Tools Conceptualize and Design with Autodesk® Sketchbook® Designer, Autodesk® Mudbox®, and Autodesk® Alias® Design for design authoring, visualization and simulation. Comprehensive Design Authoring Tools Conceptualize and Design with Autodesk® Sketchbook® Designer, Autodesk® Mudbox®, and Autodesk® Alias® Design for design authoring, visualization and simulation. These programs include tools such as sketching, styling, surfacing, sculpting, painting and modeling to help you be more creative and realize striking, unique forms and shapes. More compelling design ideas are created with intelligent 3D design. Integration with Autodesk® Inventor® helps prevent a loss of design intent; your designs are accurately transferred with no loss of data.
	2D and 3D Engineering Software Engineer and Validate with AutoCAD® Mechanical and Autodesk Inventor, the most widely used programs of their kind. 2D and 3D Engineering Software Engineer and Validate with AutoCAD® Mechanical and Autodesk Inventor, the most widely used programs of their kind. This powerful software helps you minimize development times, increase reliability and streamline your change order process. Engineering productivity tools in Inventor help you create realistic models more quickly using existing components and built in calculators. By creating accurate 3D models you can predict how the product will perform under real world conditions before ever building it.
	Data Management Document and Manage with Autodesk® Vault, and the integrated drawing generation tools in Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD Mechanical. Data Management Document and Manage with Autodesk® Vault, and the integrated drawing generation tools in Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD Mechanical. Vault’s automated tools for managing design documentation help you stay efficient, and reduce errors. It also securely stores and manages your IP in a central location so your team can quickly create share and reuse digital prototyping information. With Inventor and AutoCAD® you can efficiently create high quality, technically accurate, manufacturing documentation.
	Create Stunning Visualizations Collaborate and Review with Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Showcase®; these robust tools give you more control when presenting your ideas. Create Stunning Visualizations Collaborate and Review with Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Showcase®; these robust tools give you more control when presenting your ideas. You can easily present multiple design options, and realistic rendering means ideas are communicated clearly. Integrated Autodesk visualization capabilities make it easy to transform CAD data into compelling imagery, movies, and interactive presentations. These features lead to an improved review process, and can help win more business.

Standard Edition
Autodesk® Product Design Suite Standard 2012 is for product designers and engineers who want to complement 2D mechanical design processes with product visualization capabilities. It helps rapidly explore product design concepts and produce stunning illustrations in a robust digital sketchbook. With you design ideas captured, you can create and revise drawings with a complete set of mechanical design productivity tools. Bring you completed designs to life by creating compelling imagery, movies, and interactive presentations.

Premium Edition
Autodesk® Product Design Suite Premium 2012 contains all the capabilities of the standard edition, plus tools for Digital Prototyping. Using Autodesk Inventor, create an accurate digital prototype, and design better products in less time. Supercharge your product designs with the 3D modeling capabilities as well as easy exportation to AutoCAD Mechanical for creating 2D documentation. Show your digital designs in real-world settings, for visual validation and greater communication.

Ultimate Edition
Autodesk® Product Design Suite Ultimate 2012 contains everything in the Premium edition, plus additional 3D product design capabilities for routed systems, tooling, and conceptual design. Inventor Professional helps you test and validate products with integrated product simulation tools. It also allows you to quickly create tube and pipe runs, electrical cabling, and harness designs. Alias design incorporates industrial design aesthetics with tools for creating production-quality surfaces. Alias is the best solution for performing concept exploration, design modeling, and technical surfacing. It provides an environment to begin creating 3D product designs that can be directly transferred to Inventor for engineering.

Autodesk Product Design Suite 2013 combines the powerful Digital Prototyping capabilities of Autodesk Inventor with enhanced design, visualization, and cloud-based Autodesk 360 services in all levels of the suite.

Additional Applications
• Design in 3D with any edition in Autodesk^® Product Design Suite. Autodesk^® Inventor^® is now available in all levels of the suite
• AutoCAD^® Electrical is now available in the Premium and Ultimate additions. The addition of the electronics design application allows you to use 2D electrical schematics in the 3D Autodesk Inventor Routed Systems environment.
• The addition of Autodesk^® Navisworks^® to the Premium and Ultimate Editions provide the ability to do project review by aggregating data from any supplier, quickly view and navigate large assemblies, create project timelines, and mark up your design in 3D.

Increased Ease of Use
• The Launchpad application provides easy access to the Product Design Suite applications, project data, and workflows. It automates your workflow to help you focus on the task at hand, instead of each individual tool
• Design Suite Workflows automate the process of saving, transferring, and preparing your Autodesk Inventor models for various tasks in Autodesk^® Showcase^® or Autodesk^® 3ds Max^® with our own customized workflow for each project. With one click of a button in Inventor, your design will be ready to go in Showcase or 3ds Max.
• AutoCAD^® Mechanical creates Documentation Synergy with the documentation support of any 3D model with the power of 2D documentation tools.
• Use the power of the Autodesk^® 360 cloud-based platform to explore and optimize multiple design alternatives in parallel without burdening your desktop workstation.
• The Autodesk Exchange provides both Autodesk and third-party applications that can be used with your Autodesk products within Product Design Suite. These tools may include add-ins, plug-ins, or stand-alone utilities that provide useful added features to improve productivity. These applications are Autodesk tested and approved.
