The world is designed and made every day—and Autodesk is empowering the innovators at the center of that transformation. Our Design and Make platform lets you reimagine how things are created by connecting digital workflows to real‑world outcomes across the built environment, products, and media.
By connecting people, processes, and projects across the entire lifecycle, the Autodesk Platform moves teams from concept to creation with greater speed, clarity, and confidence.
The Autodesk Platform offers three industry clouds to help you manage your assets and workflows.
Connect teams, data, and workflows across the building lifecycle—from design through construction and operations.
Unify design, engineering, and manufacturing to bring better products to market, faster.
Empower creative teams to produce high-quality content at scale.
As the foundation of the Autodesk Platform, Autodesk Platform Services (APS) provides a cross-industry set of APIs, shared capabilities, and services that connect workflows across our industry clouds, products, and other solutions. With APS, you can personalize your technology ecosystem to create custom end-to-end workflows.
Autodesk AI is embedded across the Autodesk Platform to help teams work smarter at every stage. By learning from data across projects and workflows, Autodesk AI can help automate repetitive tasks, surface insights, and guide better decisions—so teams can focus on higher-value work.
From generative design and predictive analytics to intelligent automation, Autodesk AI is designed to enhance creativity, reduce risk, and accelerate outcomes—without disrupting how teams already work.

Design and Make refers to the process of creating the world around us—from buildings and infrastructure to products and media. It brings together design, engineering, and production into connected workflows that turn ideas into real-world outcomes more efficiently, sustainably, and at scale.
Design and Make Platforms are integrated, cloud-connected software solutions that allow users to design, manufacture, and deliver anything from new buildings and infrastructure to products and media-and-entertainment productions. Design and Make Platforms unlock data and connect project workflows, allowing companies to deliver better, faster outcomes across the project lifecycle.
Autodesk’s Design and Make Platform is cloud-connected software that unifies data and workflows, utilizing AI-powered insights and automations to deliver desired outcomes in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Manufacturing, and Entertainment industries. It includes Autodesk Platform Services and our three industry clouds, Forma, Fusion, and Flow.
Through the Autodesk Platform, we can help customers connect workflows and surface automation and insights across design and make industries, including architecture, engineering, construction, product design, manufacturing, media, and entertainment.
The Autodesk Platform unlocks the value of data and enables collaboration across the entire project lifecycle by:
In the Autodesk Platform environment, it won’t matter if an architect is working in Revit or Forma, an engineer in Inventor or Fusion, or an artist in Maya or Flow. Their data will be connected in the industry cloud, with APIs and services helping to optimize and customize it.
Businesses are experiencing an environment of increasingly distributed teams. Disconnected workflows and siloed data are common problems that cross industry lines. The Autodesk Platform will let you customize, extend, and connect Autodesk products with other solutions to create end-to-end workflows that meet your business objectives. These end-to-end workflows will connect project data and unlock the insights to ensure you and your stakeholders have the latest information in real time. By connecting the right people to the right data at the right time across entire project lifecycles, you’ll be able to accelerate collaboration and remove friction. And connected data opens future opportunities for automation and artificial intelligence, removing guesswork and manual work and leaving more time to focus on the outcomes that matter most to you.
The Autodesk Platform will enable both digital and industry transformation by reimagining project workflows, simplifying how you access and use our tools, and connecting data across the entire lifecycle of a project to realize its full value. The platform will empower distributed teams to work fluidly across boundaries of projects. With products that are easy to use, learn, and deploy, you can harness project data to generate insights that flow through the entire project lifecycle. By removing barriers to collaboration and bringing data-backed insights to everyday decision making, The Autodesk Platform removes barriers to collaboration and provides data-backed insights, so you can spend less time coordinating processes or predicting outcomes and more time focusing on critical business decisions.
Industry clouds will comprise products that connect processes and streamline workflows in that industry, offering capabilities that span the full lifecycle of a project.
Autodesk Platform Services (APS) , formerly Forge, is a set of evolving APIs and services to help you customize solutions, create innovative workflows, and integrate other tools and data with our platform. APS also offers an app marketplace of prebuilt solutions that help you quickly connect gaps and a central cloud-information model that streamlines how teams create and share project data.
Companies worldwide face a rapid evolution in business trends and practices, from the way people work to the way supply chains operate. Demographic pressures, shifting consumer priorities, and demand for sustainable solutions are creating challenges across every industry. Traditional siloed tools and ways of working no longer meet these needs. Therefore, industries are witnessing a shift toward cloud-connected and integrated software solutions and data-driven approaches to address today’s challenges.
