Autodesk® Alias® Design software, part of the Autodesk Solution for Digital Prototyping, is for the entire creative design process—from ideation to the final surfaces that are passed to engineering. Included is a complete set of tools to help designers develop and communicate product design using sketches, illustrations, photorealistic renderings, and animations. Designers can create production-quality geometry that can move back and forth between design and engineering applications, enabling collaborative product development. Engineers can take advantage of Alias Design capabilities with Autodesk® Alias® Design for Inventor®. This version was built specifically for Inventor® users to provide integrated freeform shape modeling capabilities directly within the Inventor environment.

Autodesk® Alias® Surface software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, offers a full set of dynamic 3D modeling capabilities that enable virtual modelers to evolve concept models into high-quality production surfaces for consumer product design and Class-A surfaces for automotive design and styling. In addition, it facilitates the workflow between digital modeling and scanned physical prototypes, enabling designers to quickly handle large amounts of scan data more efficiently, accelerating development time and reducing rework. This complete set of tools for importing and configuring data from 3D scanners for visualization and reverse engineering includes cutting, smoothing, automatic hole filling, mesh reduction and evaluation.

Autodesk® Alias® Automotive software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, is an industry-leading application for automotive design and styling and the choice of leading automotive styling studios throughout the world. The software provides a comprehensive set of visualization and analysis tools for the entire shape-definition process, from concept sketches through Class-A surfacing. With an advanced workflow, the software helps automotive companies reduce rework and produce design iterations faster. Autodesk Alias Automotive helps designers control their designs further into the development process with tools to efficiently refine models and create production-quality, reusable NURBS surfaces for engineering.
