Include 3D mechanical in your modeling workflow
Inventor LT™ software introduces 3D mechanical CAD into your 2D workflows. Use Digital Prototyping workflows and compete more effectively. Get powerful part-level parametric modeling, multi CAD translation capabilities, automated DWG™ drawing views, and other CAD capabilities found in Inventor software to expand your 2D engineering process.
Make the move from 2D to 3D mechanical CAD with the powerful 3D part-level design capabilities of Inventor LT software. Practical and cost-effective, Inventor LT™ helps you work with third-party CAD data, share DWG™ files, and more:
- Design, visualize and verify complex mechanical parts in 3D using part-level parametric modeling tools.
- Generate near-photorealistic renderings of 3D part models to communicate design intent to customers and other reviewers, helping to reduce rework and cycle times.
- Share 3D part designs and update production DWG drawings more quickly and easily using common file formats to help streamline communication. Production-ready drawings automatically update as projects progress and whenever the 3D part model changes.
- Work with third-party 3D CAD data to help improve communication. Import and export 3D part models in common file formats without relying on file translation software.

Product design and Class-A surfacing software
Alias® industrial design software powers your creative process with a range of sketching, modelling, surfacing and visualisation tools. Create compelling surface designs with Digital Prototyping (US site) tools tailored for industrial design, automotive design and product design. Get advanced abilities, from initial concept sketch to development of production-ready Class-A surfaces.
Communicate your ideas digitally using tools tailored for industrial design, from conceptual sketches, to detailed production ready surface models. Ideal for industrial design and automotive design professionals.
Design drives success
Autodesk® Alias® Design software, part of the Autodesk Solution for Digital Prototyping, is for the entire creative design process—from ideation to the final surfaces that are passed to engineering. Included is a complete set of tools to help designers develop and communicate product design using sketches, illustrations, photorealistic renderings, and animations. Designers can create production-quality geometry that can move back and forth between design and engineering applications, enabling collaborative product development. Engineers can take advantage of Alias Design capabilities with Autodesk® Alias® Design for Autodesk® Inventor®. This version was built specifically for Inventor® users to provide integrated freeform shape modeling capabilities directly within the Inventor environment.
Sketching & Illustration Tool
Capture and communicate ideas freehand without switching applications. Autodesk® Alias® industrial design software includes a comprehensive set of sketching, illustration, and image editing tools—pencils, paintbrushes, airbrushes, markers, erasers, and special texture and effects brushes. The integrated 2D/3D environment enables product designers to create sketches at real-world scale and draw over imported 3D CAD data to evaluate design feasibility.
- Draw symmetrical objects quickly and get instant feedback on a drawing’s proportions.
- Duplicate symmetric brush strokes in bilateral or radial symmetry.
- Capture perfect lines, circles, and ellipses with predictive strokes.
Flexible Product Modeling
The flexible modeling tools in Autodesk Alias software can help you experiment with ideas and pursue innovative solutions to your design challenges. Quickly explore and visualize any form using a range of 3D modeling techniques. Alias industrial design software products combine fast, repeatable, curve-based modeling tools with the ability to directly edit and sculpt 3D models.
- Choose the best modeling technique for the task at hand.
- Generate multiple design iterations quickly.
- Flexible tools enable you to make subtle corrections or radical changes easily.
Dynamic Shape Modeling
Experiment with shapes at any stage of the design process. Quickly manipulate your product model, exploring variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry, or make real-time modifications in design reviews. Shape objects dynamically with these powerful tools:
Lattice rig—Sculpt geometry by manipulating a customizable lattice created around an object.
Bend—Bend geometry using a curve to control deformation.
Twist—Twist geometry around a single-axis curve.
Conform—Conform geometry to the shape of another surface.
