Alias® industrial design software supports concept communication, design modelling, technical surfacing, reverse engineering, real-time design visualisation and engineering development collaboration. Available as Alias® Concept, Alias® Surface or Alias® AutoStudio software.
Draw and edit with integrated tools. Capture lines, circles and ellipses with predictive strokes. (video: 2.43 min.)
Fast, repeatable, curve-based modelling tools let you directly edit and sculpt 3D models. (video: 2.32 min.)
Walk through a fast concept model workflow, from sketch to final concept model. (video: 3.03 min.)
Sketches from Photoshop can be linked to Alias. Changes to sketches are dynamically updated in Alias.
Quickly manipulate your product model and explore shape variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry.
3D sculpt surfaces by directly adjusting surface control vertexes. Use curve-based tools, direct modelling and more.
Deck seam (similar to a flat fell seam) has been added to the Stitch and Seam tool. (video: 3.31 min.)
Use tools that help you to create mathematical shapes. Control pitch with the Revolve tool and more. (video: 1.26 min.)
Make smooth transitions between surfaces. (video: 4.28 min.)
Study your surfaces in a virtual lighting studio with the Light Tunnel tool.
Quickly generate complex repeatable patterns and enable rapid design iterations and exploration.
Simplify uniform and non-uniform objects using arrays. Create arrays of lines and surfaces in 2D and 3D.
Alias has integrated the strengths of adaptive subdivision with native NURBS surface technology. (video: 3.45 min.)
Refit your digital model to the changed physical model. (video: 1.24 min.)
Create a surface on mesh with 1 of 3 surface types. Update original data with scanned clay data. (video: 2.01 min.)
Create Class-A surfaces with speed and control.
Perform multiple operations with a single, automated tool.
Get more predictable results with new tools such as Freeform Curve Blend and View Flip.
Profile tools provide an advanced way to work with surfaces, such as rotating a profile to a target surface.
Define ratios with Form Factor tools.
Use an expanded mesh selection toolset.
Offset command ensues that offset CV layout quality is maintained, enabling a semi-automated, time-saving workflow.
Save the file author information under the save information section when saving or exporting a file.
Disable the share view option using an environment variable.
Enhance design reviews with virtual reality. Explore your design to scale using a HMD in VR.
Evaluate design options with real-time visualisations. Use shading models, apply colour, add texture and more.
Share industrial design data with mechanical design and CAD software, including Inventor, CATIA and SOLIDWORKS.
Quickly convert Alias files to VRED software for 3D visualisation.
Easily switch between colour combinations.
Capture your current view to return to it easily.
