Autodesk Factory Design Suite
Extend the Benefits of Digital Prototyping to the Factory Floor
Autodesk Factory Design Suite combines the power of AutoCAD with the benefits of Digital Prototyping—so you spend less time drafting, and more time optimizing and visually communicating factory layouts.
Autodesk® Factory Design Suite is an integrated 2D and 3D factory layout and optimization solution that can help you create more efficient factory layouts by developing a digital model of your factory. The solution complements AutoCAD® and Autodesk® Inventor® software with workflows that enhance accuracy, design efficiency, and communication.
