Flexible Modeling
Take advantage of a range of product modeling
techniques to visualize any form. Autodesk Alias
Design software combines fast, repeatable curve-
based modeling tools with the ability to directly
sculpt 3D models.
Dynamic Shape Modeling
Experiment with shapes at any stage of the design
process. Quickly manipulate your model, exploring
variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry,
or make real-time modifications in design reviews.
Shape objects dynamically with these powerful tools:
• Lattice Rig—Sculpt geometry by manipulating a
customizable lattice created around an object.
• Bend—Bend geometry using a curve to control
deformation.
• Twist—Twist geometry around a single-axis curve.
• Conform—Conform geometry to the shape of
another surface.
Design Modeling
Duplicate Place
Create repetitive geometry that follows surface
contours. Edit geometry, duplicate it based on
history, and place it onto
other geometry.
Rapid Prototyping
Build physical prototypes more efficiently from
digital models. With rapid prototyping, you can
develop and refine designs before committing
to production. Print in 3D using STL output for
stereolithography, and export data to computer
numerical control (CNC) machines. Alias Design
supports 3D printing in color.
Refine your 3D models through a creative, iterative process—
evolving concepts from ideas to reality.
