Uncover new approaches for driving efficiency
The world of manufacturing is changing rapidly. From a world of silos to one of collaboration across disciplines. From a physical world to one built on data, virtual reality (VR), and digital twins. From a world of lumbering assembly lines to one of agile, smart factories. It's a world that will require new ways of planning. New ways of production. New ways of operating.
Where engineers see opportunity
"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, Project Manager for Digital Planning, Porsche
“We know everyone is on a tight timeline, so we make sure we are using the most cutting-edge tools we can.”
–Andy Lawniczak, Chief Operating Officer, Conturo Prototyping
"Augmented, mixed, and virtual reality are visionary tools. And so are 3D visualization and laser scanning."
—Norbert Schmidt, Digital Factory Expert, Viessmann Climate Solutions

"[Production management software] provides us with an entire library of information that is permanently available. Now we can have full traceability from the raw materials to the final product."
–Pedro Costa, Production Manager, Termobrasa

Solutions for production engineering
Factory design
Bring order to your factory. Combine 2D and 3D CAD into powerful new workflows that help you optimize your factory design to support efficiency, throughput, and quality during manufacturing process development.
CAD for machine design
Accelerate machine design and manufacturing and get your best ideas to market more efficiently. Purpose-built tools and workflows help you improve product development agility, increase innovation capacity, and expand offerings.
BIM for manufacturers
Work more effectively with building, infrastructure, and other customers who rely on BIM. One connected ecosystem can help you improve collaboration, reduce costly errors, and get your products specified in more projects.
Product lifecycle management (PLM)
Keep everyone on the same page with a single source of data. Multi-CAD integrations help teams improve collaboration, accelerate development agility and time to market, and provide transparency into your supply chain.
Equipment Installation
Simplify handoffs and get to market faster. By working around a shared digital model, you can maintain data integrity and transparency—from architects and contractors to factory planners, production planners, and operators.
Digital twin for factory
Predict and optimize product performance, before you go into manufacturing. Virtual representations of a real-world product or asset—with continuous, real-time data—can help you streamline product development and increase ROI.

Software for manufacturing and production
Partnerships for a robust manufacturing ecosystem
Autodesk partners with industry leaders to develop deeper software and hardware integrations, helping our customers differentiate with data, expand on capabilities, and automate time-consuming processes.
Quoting & estimation software
Paperless Parts
Paperless Parts
Autodesk and Paperless Parts are working together to improve productivity during the quoting process. Integration of the Paperless Parts platform into Fusion enables manufacturing estimators to quickly generate quotes from the CAD models they receive from customers. Regardless of the file format of a model, the manufacturer can quickly identify potential manufacturing issues and use Fusion to make edits to improve a part’s manufacturability.
Manufacturing software
Haas Automation
Haas Automation
Haas Automation and Autodesk have teamed up to streamline manufacturing workflows, reducing the time needed for CAM programming with the integration of extensive libraries of machine models, post processors, and tooling databases. The Haas add-in enables Fusion 360 users to experience instant-on connectivity with their Haas machines and efficient productivity by reading data directly from the machine and allowing NC code to be directly transferred.
Manufacturing software
Renishaw
Renishaw
Autodesk and Renishaw offer enhanced solutions to effectively manage product quality on the shop floor.In-process measurement enables manufacturers to make real-time adjustments to their processes, improving efficiency and reducing waste. Collecting data on production quality throughout the manufacturing process can identify areas for improvement, allowing processes to be optimized to produce higher-quality products more efficiently.
