Autodesk drives automotive and transportation

“Autodesk has really excelled in offering this solution that allows you to develop a design from sketch to tooling release, all from the same familiar workspace.”
- James Searle, Digital Design Manager, Lucid Motors

“By adopting generative and parametric design, with the contribution of industrial robots, 3D printing and artificial intelligence, we can make 90% fewer car parts a possibility.”
- Angelo Yu, CEO, PIX Moving

“Lots of people underestimate how forward-compatible the digital-coordination model is, It’s not just the basis for planning; it will stay with us for the entire life of the building”
– Till Moczarski, Porsche Project Manager, Digital Planning
