Autodesk Alias Design ® ® Inspire with your designs.
Innovate Ahead of the Curve Style, form, and function all influence a consumer’s choice of products. Create the innovative designs consumers want— faster than your competition. Use Autodesk Alias Design to experiment with ideas, rapidly iterate concepts, and refine winning details. ® Unleash Creativity Combine creativity with craftsmanship, capturing inspirational forms using the powerful tools in Autodesk® Alias® Design software.
Concept Exploration Pursue innovative, improved solutions to the challenges in your design brief. Autodesk Alias Design software helps you explore alternatives, experiment with ideas, and solve problems. The concept development phase demands close collaboration between designers and engineers to produce concepts that are new, yet technically feasible. Complete Sketching and Illustration Toolset Capture and communicate ideas freehand without switching applications.
Concept Exploration Customizable Paint User Interface At startup, customize your sketching and illustration user interface, and enjoy a simpler, more efficient workflow. Use paint mode to transition smoothly from other 2D tools to Alias Design software. Alias Design speeds your work by giving you instant access to common brush controls, through a dynamic hot-spot interface that appears directly under the cursor.
Design Modeling Refine your 3D models through a creative, iterative process— evolving concepts from ideas to reality. Flexible Modeling Take advantage of a range of product modeling techniques to visualize any form. Autodesk Alias Design software combines fast, repeatable curvebased modeling tools with the ability to directly sculpt 3D models. Dynamic Shape Modeling Experiment with shapes at any stage of the design process.
Design Modeling Surface Creation Tools Maintain positional, tangent, or curvature continuity with surrounding surfaces for high-quality results that are ready for manufacturing. The surface modeling tools in Alias Design accelerate the process of creating high-quality surfaces. 3D Sculpting Sculpt surfaces by adjusting surface control vertices. You can use curve-based tools to define a shape at its edges, and direct modeling to adjust the shape at any point.
Visualization and Communication Communicate your design intent—bring your ideas to life. Help team members and customers understand and visualize designs, so they can easily evaluate design options. Interactive Shading Use shading models to increase realism and to evaluate surfaces and design forms. Autodesk Alias Design software reduces the need for time-consuming renderings with immediate visual feedback.
Visualization and Communication Communicate your design intent—bring your ideas to life. Help team members and customers understand and visualize designs, so they can easily evaluate design options. Reference Data Workflow Generate and compare an unlimited number of design variations for engineering and design reviews. The Reference Manager lets teams review massive amounts of 3D geometry and interact directly with detailed digital models.
Productive Environment It’s never been easier to learn quickly and work more efficiently. The intuitive user interface of Autodesk Alias Design shortens the learning curve and speeds your workflow. Unified Shading Environment Click through tasks faster with task-centric marking menus that reduce the use of dialog boxes. You can choose materials and assign shaders directly on surfaces with only a few clicks.
Process Integration Exchange data with CAD software throughout the design process. Sketch and model over imported engineering data. And when your model is approved, protect design integrity in the engineering phase by exporting data to engineering packages. Data Exchange Exchange digital design data with engineering teams using fast, high-quality CAD translators for industrystandard data formats such as DXF™, IGES, and STEP.
Autodesk Alias Product Line The Autodesk Alias product line, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping helps optimize the creative design process with industry-leading sketching, modeling, and visualization tools that help you quickly realize ideas in a single environment.
