In Their Own Words

"Digital Prototyping enables us to simulate all portions of the car and design new pieces that make the car go faster than ever before."

- Russ Wicks, World Land Speed Record Holder

"The time is long gone when you could afford to have the design and engineering departments working separately and updating one another with drawings. Product information should be stored in one place and available to everyone so that feedback from one department to another can be delivered in a structured, digital form. The full suite of products that Autodesk provides -- from AliasStudio and Inventor during the concepting and engineering phases, to Productstream for managing the product development lifecycle -- has been invaluable in helping us create and manage a digital workflow."

- Karl Thysell, Product Development, HTC Sweden

"A customer is likely to have many of their prospective questions answered when we present them with a fully constrained, mechanically functional 3D model created in Inventor. By visualizing a product before it has been built -- and then sharing that visualization with the customer -- we've been able to take several weeks off of the sales cycle."

- Jeff Richlin, Richlin Machinery President

"The use of 3D digital prototypes created in Inventor allows us to tightly control the design process and catch any interferences ahead of time. As a result, we can validate our design to help predict that the finished product will meet the requirements of the production operators and maintenance personnel who will be using it in their pharmaceutical facilities. We have even taken it so far as to do a virtual walk-through with the client's occupational health nurse to verify the ergonomics of our designs."

- Mark Lee, Business Unit manage, SkidTek

"In the process of literally 'reinventing the wheel,' we had to explore a lot of different design ideas. By creating digital prototypes in Inventor, we were able to fully explore and optimize our designs before producing expensive physical prototypes."

- Cisco Sabin, Mechanical Design Engineer, Magic Wheels

"Digital Prototyping allowed us to visualize and analyze our designs ahead of time, to check for interferences. As a result, the number of iterations required to come up with a final design was greatly reduced. We probably decreased the overall development cycle by 50 percent by using Autodesk Inventor software, which allowed us to deliver a mobile electronic flightdeck solution to our customers in less time."

- Hemant Mistry, Jayco President

"The true benefit of Autodesk Inventor for a small business such as ours is the affordable cost combined with the ease of operation. The software enables us to quickly manufacture and simulate the prototype components digitally and rapidly alter the design in a matter of minutes."
