AutoCAD Mechanical
Power tools for mechanical design.
AutoCAD® Mechanical design and drafting software is AutoCAD® software for manufacturing. Part of the Autodesk® solution for Digital Prototyping, it includes all the functionality of AutoCAD, one of the world’s leading 2D CAD design software programs, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common mechanical CAD tasks and accelerating the mechanical design process. AutoCAD Mechanical design software helps to save hours of design time, so you can spend time innovating rather than drafting.
Facing these issues?
- Productivity is limited by software that is not built specifically for mechanical design.
- Frequent design changes are creating hours of manual re-work.
- Design errors and incorrect bills of materials (BOMs) and parts lists are keeping products from shipping on time.
- Updating existing drawings is costing your company valuable time.
- Inconsistent use of drafting standards is slowing down shop-floor production.
- Inability to find and re-use designs is forcing your teams to create too many drawings from scratch.
Discover why so many designers and drafters are switching to AutoCAD Mechanical.
