Simulation and CAM now make product development more complete and connected I’ve spent a lot of time speaking with manufacturers across various industries—automotive, industrial machinery, consumer goods, and more. One thing has become increasingly clear: they want a simpler software experience. They’re looking for one unified set of tools that seamlessly connect, allowing designers to pass 3D models to engineers for simulation and testing, and then for production teams to use those designs in machining. A great example is the UK-based supercar manufacturer, Briggs Automotive Company (BAC). They need to turn their elegant design concepts into real-world engineering solutions that can be digitally simulated for performance and then manufactured on CNC machines. To do this efficiently, they avoid the endless file conversions and repairs that traditional workflows require, as well as the risks associated with change management. In response to this growing demand, we’ve made a major update to our Product Design Collection. Until now, it focused mainly on design and engineering. Now, we’re adding simulation and CAM tools to the mix, making it the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection. This new version brings together everything you need—from initial design through to production. Specifically, we’ve added two powerful tools: Nastran In-CAD for simulation and Autodesk HSM for CAM. These were previously available at an annual cost of over $7,000. But because we believe in the power of integration, we’re offering them free of charge with the collection. The total cost remains just $2,460 per year in the U.S. Starting this week, the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection offers all the professional-grade tools your team needs to go from design to manufacturing. It includes integrated 2D and 3D CAD, CAE, and CAM applications, perfect for product development and planning. This update also enhances the Inventor experience. With simulation, 5-axis CAM, and factory planning tools now fully integrated, Inventor becomes a more powerful platform for both design and manufacturing. Subscribers also get access to a future-proof toolset. While not every update will be as significant as this one, we’re committed to continuous improvements, including new features like generative design and cloud-based innovation through Fusion 360. You still get AutoCAD, Navisworks, Vault, ReCap Pro, 3ds Max, Factory Design Utilities, and more. These enhanced workflows take Inventor beyond its traditional design focus and into the world of manufacturing, helping customers achieve more than ever before. Don’t just take my word for it. Ian Briggs, Co-Founder and Design Director of BAC, recently said: “We use Autodesk’s manufacturing software portfolio extensively for every stage of our product development—reality capture, design, engineering, fabrication, visualization, and more. The fact that Autodesk is adding simulation and CAM to the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection at no extra cost is a huge benefit for us and any manufacturer looking for a complete and integrated software solution.†The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection is available worldwide and supports more than eight languages, including English, German, Japanese, French, and Chinese.

In short, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—but each part is already strong on its own.
