Autodesk Factory Design Suite

Extend the Benefits of Digital Prototyping to the Factory Floor

Autodesk® Factory Design Suite is an integrated 2D and 3D factory layout and optimization solution that can help you create more efficient factory layouts by developing a digital model of your factory. Combine the power of AutoCAD with the benefits of Digital Prototyping—so you spend less time drafting, and more time optimizing and visually communication factory layouts.

Build Your Digital Factory
Autodesk Factory Design Suite adds factory-specific functionality to AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk® Navisworks® software. It combines this functionality with powerful visualization software—Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design and Autodesk® Showcase®—to help manufacturers improve innovation, collaboration, and flexibility as they respond to changing business requirements.

Win More Business
Create factory layout models that help you quickly evaluate multiple what-if layout scenarios, so you can determine the best solution before any equipment is installed. Use factory-specific visualization tools to impress potential clients with immersive and interactive layout proposals in 3D rather than difficult-to-interpret multilayered 2D drawings.

Optimize Your Factory Layout Process
Use Factory Design Suite to create layout designs much faster than you could with traditional factory layout workflows.

• Analyze existing 2D layouts for more efficient material flow and transform layout liabilities into profit-generating assets.
• Incorporate Point Cloud scans to capture the as-built state of your factory, drastically reducing manual measurement.
• Perform engineering reviews and explore factory layouts with interactive 3D virtual walk-throughs. And because Factory Design Suite supports the DWG™ file format, you can continue to use valuable legacy data and improve your familiar AutoCAD workflow without making drastic workflow changes.
