Designing and manufacturing
The development of technology has been transforming the industrial sector for years. However, the changing micro and macro environment in which manufacturing companies operate necessitates the search for new solutions, not only in terms of automation and robotics but also in system integration, process standardization, and customization of available tools to fit the specific needs of each organization. One of the foundations of a company’s competitiveness is the implementation of intuitive, advanced, and accessible technology that combines the processes of design and manufacturing.
Design automation
Design automation is a process that streamlines repetitive and labor-intensive stages of the design work. Implementing automation enables more efficient modeling, faster project handover to production, and improved design work at later stages. Additionally, it significantly helps reduce the risk of errors, which, if detected at later stages, would incur much higher costs, straining the project budget and schedule.
Discover the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, pa package of industry-specific tools for mechanics, manufacturing, and simulation. The collection provides access to key Autodesk products, including both applications and cloud services, allowing for a flexible and convenient way of working to meet the needs of an ever-changing market.
3D model configuration
Implementing design automation allows for efficient configuration of complete products, even in the case of complex projects, tailored to customer specifications.
iLogic environment
A free module of Autodesk Inventor, iLogic is based on relationships and rules of parametric design. It automates parameterization in working with models, enabling control not only over dimensions but also the creation of entire parts and assemblies, the generation of configurations, and the execution of automatic actions related to overall project documentation.
Cloud-based design
Working in a cloud platform is invaluable support for projects that require collaboration with internal and external teams, have a high level of complexity, and require significant computational power. Through centralized collaboration, cloud-based design reduces the impact of design and engineering changes, ensuring precision in all processes.
Fusion 360 is a cloud platform for 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB, enabling industrial and mechanical design. It allows for quick analysis of multiple iterations, design and development of products, and the creation of various components using versatile tools. The cloud-based solution of Fusion 360 combines functionalities that streamline engineers’ work, resulting in time and cost savings in project implementation.

Calculations and simulations
Calculations and simulations are processes that allow for data-driven decision-making during the design stage. Through methods such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, plastic injection molding analysis, or generative design, it is possible to early detect, identify, and correct weaknesses in designed solutions. This is particularly useful in the implementation of complex industrial projects.
Autodesk Inventor Nastran – Utilize comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) to predict product performance through linear, nonlinear, thermal, and dynamic analyses. Optimize designs and validate product behavior even before the start of production.
