The Autodesk® Education Suite for Industrial Design helps educators prepare the next generation of industrial designers with an extensive set of sketching, modeling, and visualization tools used by professionals around the world. This comprehensive software suite helps students learn sketching, modeling, and technical surfacing, and enables them to create digital prototypes, visualization, and high-end rendering and animation. It provides aspiring industrial designers with the same tools used by leading automotive styling studios and by companies that design internationally recognized consumer products. The software suite’s Digital Prototyping tools help students visualize and simulate the real-world performance of their designs.

• Supports multidisciplinary studies with Digital Prototyping tools by enabling industrial design and mechanical engineering students to use a single digital model, boosting design efficiency by visualizing and simulating the real-world performance of a design.
• Helps students create accurate and highly realistic visualizations of digital prototypes, using Autodesk® Showcase® and Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software.
• Integrates Autodesk® technology into the classroom with interactive exercises, modular projects, and instructor lesson slides that emphasize design concepts instead of software.
• Offers students and educators free* learning and curriculum materials, software for personal use, and discussion forums—all accessible through the Autodesk Education Community at autodesk.com/edcommunity.
