Autodesk uniquely combines expertise in building information modeling (BIM) and digital prototyping processes to deliver better predictability and control throughout the project lifecycle. These processes work together to provide an integrated digital design-to-fabrication workflow. This enables architects, engineers, and fabricators to more cost-effectively communicate and realize design intent for innovative and complex buildings.
By employing “BIM ready” Digital Prototyping in the design of building components, fabricators are able to better visualize, simulate, and analyze how a design will work under real-world conditions before the component is built. The tight integration of Autodesk® Inventor® software with the Revit® platform enables fabricators to express progressive ideas with detailed designs and dynamically change and update those designs to reflect overall architectural design intent.
