Conceptual Design

In today’s competitive marketplace, customers are demanding more innovation and distinctive design in their everyday consumer products. Failing to capture these customer needs is the leading reason why most products fail. But turning distinctive designs into manufacturable products requires a focus on excellence not just in design, but also in engineering and manufacturing. Using Autodesk products, consumer product companies can develop cutting-edge concepts; optimise their manufacturability; and efficiently share information with engineering, downstream users, customers, and suppliers.

The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping offers tools that span the design-to-manufacturing process, from initial concept to sourcing and supplier collaboration:

  • Concept exploration—Free designers’ creativity with award-winning software that lets them sketch, annotate, and present visual ideas.
  • Design modelling—Enable industrial designers to work with best-in-class industrial design tools from the start of your project, letting them capture their ideas digitally from initial sketches through 3D concept models.
  • Styling and surfacing—Give stylists and designers a creative, iterative process to develop design concepts.
  • Visualisation and communication—Make it easier for designers to bring ideas to life and communicate ideas.
