Factory Design Suite

Autodesk® Factory Design Suite combines the power of AutoCAD® with the benefits of Digital Prototyping so you spend less time drafting and more time optimizing and visually communicating factory layouts.

Autodesk® Factory Design Suite is an easy-to-use 2D/3D factory layout solution specifically built to help you make better layout decisions by enabling you to create a Digital Prototype of your factory.

The suite provides tools for integrating 2D layout data with 3D models of factory equipment, creating accurate factory models and 3D visual walk-throughs that help teams collaborate effectively and make more informed decisions before any equipment is installed and commissioned on the factory floor.

Core products in the suite include:

• AutoCAD® Architecture
  
• Autodesk® Navisworks®
  
• Autodesk® Vault
  
• Autodesk® Inventor® software enhanced with the Autodesk® Factory Design Utility, which
  gives users a factory-specific work environment that helps factory layout designers spend more time innovating rather than drafting.

Autodesk Factory Design Suite can help machine and equipment builders, system integrators, and
manufacturers to better design, optimize, and visualize factory layouts in order to:

• Win more business -- Help decision makers visualize layout proposals in 3D instead of
  multilayered 2D drawing
  
• Meet compressed project schedules -- Move from 2D conceptual layout, to factory model, to
  creating a 3D virtual fly-through in less time than traditional 2D layout methods
  
• Optimize the factory layout process -- A factory focused solution enables you to transform
  facility layout liabilities into profit-generating assets and take advantage of modern laserscanning workflows
  
• Collaborate more effectively with suppliers and partners -- Reduce installation risks by analyzing the digital factory model for clashes and space constraints digitally, before they become problems onsite
