"In order to keep up with the ever-changing industry demands, to stay on the forefront of market trends and continue to produce revolutionary designs, industrial designers and modelers need to have fast, high-quality and easy-to- use design tools that they can depend on," said Richard Jones, vice president of Autodesk Alias Design Products. "The introduction of Autodesk AliasStudio 13.5 addresses this need by providing designers with enhanced performance and best-in-class tools that accelerate all phases of the design workflow process and, in turn, maximizes their productivity."
As a premier industrial design tool, Autodesk AliasStudio enables users to take great ideas from conceptual design all the way through to manufacture to drive competitive business. As a result, Autodesk AliasStudio is being used by virtually every automotive manufacturer around the world and to design products from many of the world's most recognizable brands, including such companies as BMW DesignWorks, Five Axis, Nova Design, Lunar Design, Stile Bertone, Symbol Technologies, Wild West Motor Company, RKS Design and Alchemy Labs.
This latest version of Autodesk AliasStudio delivers enhanced performance and improves the design workflow process so designers can increase their overall productivity. AliasStudio software also provides updates to Autodesk DirectConnect software to enhance support for exchanging data with Computer Aided Design (CAD) packages.
"The performance improvements delivered through AliasStudio 13.5 have enhanced my experience and enabled me to improve my overall modeling productivity by providing a significantly faster software user interface for designing," said Damien Fleury, a 3D consultant and software tester for Autodesk AliasStudio 13.5. "This, in turn, will help me to produce faster results on design iterations moving forward."
