Master Complex Shapes
Perfect Your Designs
Define inspiring and ergonomic shapes that meet
functional requirements, with the powerful tools in
Autodesk Alias Surface software. Alias Surface helps
you sculpt 3D models to achieve the perfect union
of aesthetics and engineering. Power your creative
process with industry-leading curve-based and di-
rect modeling tools that help you fine-tune designs
in a single software environment, in less time.
Communicate Your Vision
Alias Surface makes it easy to create highly realistic
models. You can shade and light models to com-
municate your design vision more clearly, and
confirm that your surfaces meet exacting standards.
Reviewers can evaluate high-quality imagery that
reflects a range of materials and colors. The result
is quick and confident design-review decisions—
without time-consuming renderings.
Speed Up Processes
When engineering teams need to redo surfaces,
it delays projects and can result in unintended
changes to your models. Alias Surface supports a
highly streamlined workflow that lets you control
design intent further in the product development
process. You can exchange design data with
engineering CAD software, such as Autodesk
®
Inventor
®
, to preserve design integrity. And you
create such high-quality, Class-A surfaces in Alias
Surface that engineering teams don’t need to
recreate them.
Specialized Design Tools
Alias Surface offers a full set of dynamic modeling
capabilities for shape development, refinement, and
control. The software’s functionality helps meet
your requirements for:
• Design modeling
• Precision surfacing modeling
• Reverse engineering
• Visualization and communication
