Autodesk

Autodesk is a multinational software corporation that develops professional design and engineering software used across architecture, construction, manufacturing, media, and entertainment industries, with flagship products including AutoCAD for 2D and 3D computer-aided design, Revit for building information modeling, Maya and 3ds Max for 3D animation and visual effects, Fusion 360 for product design and manufacturing, and Inventor for mechanical design, serving millions of professionals worldwide. The AutoCAD product family provides industry-standard drafting and design tools for creating precise 2D drawings and 3D models, with specialized versions for architecture, electrical design, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and map creation, supporting DWG file format compatibility, parametric constraints, dynamic blocks, and extensive customization through AutoLISP and APIs. The Revit platform delivers building information modeling for architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, and contractors, enabling coordinated multidisciplinary design with parametric building components, clash detection, quantity takeoffs, energy analysis, and construction documentation generated from a single integrated model. The Maya and 3ds Max software suites provide comprehensive 3D modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering for film, television, games, and motion graphics, with node-based procedural workflows, physics simulations, character rigging, and industry-standard rendering engines. The Fusion 360 platform integrates CAD, CAM, and CAE in a cloud-connected environment, enabling collaborative product development from concept through manufacturing with parametric modeling, surface modeling, simulation, generative design, and CNC machining toolpaths. The education program provides free access to all software for students and educators. Designed for architects, engineers, designers, animators, manufacturers, and construction professionals.
