5 good Reasons for the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection

Product development and factory planning from a single source: The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection combines a variety of useful Autodesk software solutions. We reveal 5 good reasons for the PDMC.

Combine 2D and 3D CAD Projects

Take a holistic view of your projects - also in design. Combine your 2D drawings with 3D models using the planning and design tools bundled in PDMC. The modern CAD software links your data associatively between the applications and enables joint use, for example for virtual tests or multi-axis machining.

Automate Design Steps

Speed up your projects by automating individual design steps. Combine tools already integrated in existing CAD systems with special software tools from the PDMC.

Networking Teams and Projects

Improve your communication and results with the functions included in the PDMC, for example by linking your teams and projects more closely together. For example, you can combine all 3D data in one file and use it for uniform internal and external collaboration. Avoid time-consuming interference and save time and money.

Generate new Projects

Use your data to generate new projects. Simulate alternatives of existing designs and convince with improved options for follow-up orders. CAD interoperability gives you easy access to the data, whether in the form of a 3D model or a point cloud, from anywhere in the world.

Protect Ideas

Protect your intellectual property with the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, but still share your ideas worldwide. Use modern options to create and send reduced versions of your models - again and again and at any time.
