Achieve better outcomes for your products, businesses, and the world with intuitive, powerful, and accessible technology that connects every detail of your design and make process.
Autodesk empowers innovators to create smarter, more reliable machinery for their customers.
Easily find the information you need. Connect your colleagues, clients, and supply chain with a single, secure data model. Always know who’s responsible for the next step in your design cycle. Automatically maintain an audit trail of decisions and their impact.
Improve quotation speed and accuracy using your existing CAD models to create sales configurators. Streamline everyday tasks to focus design and engineering time on creating innovative solutions. Automate manufacturing data preparation with BOM, nesting, and CAM in a single environment.
Bring together design and manufacturing using common CAD models to program CNC machines. Design fixtures and create toolpaths before engineering data is released— any changes automatically update CAM. Efficiently utilize production capacity across multiple machines and sites with standardized NC creation.

Custom projects require a close relationship between equipment suppliers, clients, and external partners. But persistent weak spots in these relationships prevent future projects from starting on solid ground.
In this report, Forrester Consulting recommends a path forward for equipment suppliers.
Industrial machinery is equipment used for processing, production, and distribution in industries such as energy, liquid & gas processing, mining, construction, agriculture, forestry, manufacturing, machine tools, industrial robots, and building services equipment.
Examples of industrial machinery include:
The different types of manufacturing equipment can be categorized by industry, process, size, or method of operation:
Software is used in the manufacturing industry for design, simulation, data management, process management, project management, inventory and supply chain management, quality and safety management, and the control and monitoring of machinery.
