Factory Design Utilities

Execute manufacturing changes efficiently and effectively with Factory Design Utilities, part of the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Industry Collection

Autodesk® Factory Design Utilities is an interoperable 2D and 3D factory layout and optimization solution built specifically to help you design and communicate the most efficient layout by creating a digital model of your factory. It enhances Autodesk® AutoCAD® and Autodesk® Inventor® software with access to interoperable layout workflows and factory-specific content to help improve your design efficiency, accuracy, and communication and is included in the Autodesk Product Design Industry Collection.

Visualize and Optimize Factory Designs

With Factory Design Utilities software, you can plan and validate factory layouts for efficient equipment placement that can improve production performance.

Factory Design Utilities is available only in the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection

The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection delivers tools that work right inside Inventor—including advanced simulation, 5-axis CAM, and nesting, plus AutoCAD and Fusion 360. The collection includes:

• Inventor
• AutoCAD
• Navisworks
• And more

 

Collaborate more effectively with suppliers and partners

Bring the factory to life and improve communication using immersive, high-quality 3D renderings and visualizations. Include models from suppliers in your layout regardless of CAD format, shrink-wrapping and stripping them of unwanted details. Reduce installation risks by analyzing the digital factory model for clashes and space constraints, before they become problems on-site.

Take advantage of cloud-based 3D asset publishing, sharing, and storage

With Autodesk® 360, Factory Design Utilities users can manage their assets, collaborate, and share layout designs with various stakeholders online via the DWF™ file format. Both public and private sharing capabilities make it easy to collaborate internally or share with external stakeholders.

Build your digital factory

Only the Autodesk Product Design Industry Collection which includes Factory Design Utilities adds factory specific functionality to AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk® Navisworks® software products and combines them with powerful visualization tools such as Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design and Autodesk® Showcase® software to help manufacturers improve innovation, collaboration, and flexibility when responding to changing business requirements.
