Overview
Manufacturing can be incredibly complex—for both the teams involved in designing, engineering, and the factory floor, as well as your sales team or potential customers. That’s why so many leading companies rely on visualization tools to bring their products, processes, and even complete factories to life.
The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection comes with robust tools to help you:
- Create high-quality visualizations and interactive presentations to showcase products
- Enhance customer engagement for increased marketing and sales performance
- Explore immersive experiences that can uncover hidden flaws and identify new design or engineering opportunities
Of course, you can always go further and explore more detailed posts about design fundamentals, advanced design and simulation, advanced manufacturing, and factory layout.

A complete set of visualization tools are ready for you to explore
The tools in the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection work together to provide a powerful range of visualization workflows and capabilities, depending on your needs. Explore:
- Inventor: build on your 3D models to create realistic renders, dynamic simulations, animations, exploded views, cross-section views, and material property visualizations to better understand, communicate, and refine your designs and improve product development and manufacturing efficiency
- Fusion: develop realistic 3D models and advanced simulations right on top of your CAD/CAM/CAE files, with real-time collaboration that help drive design efficiency, innovation, and accelerated product development
- 3ds Max: create cinematic-quality renderings of your products to showcase them in the best possible light, then bring them to life with animations that highlight features and functionality
- Navisworks: design immersive walkthroughs and presentations that help stakeholders understand and review your project—and allow customers to explore your products in detail
Simply choose the tool you’d like to explore further
