Build conceptual product models and create high-quality surfaces with a comprehensive set of digital modelling, shape definition, painting, and sketching tools.
Is your design team equipped with the best tools for the job?
 Autodesk Alias Design enables you to experiment with ideas, rapidly iterate concepts, refine winning details and create the innovative designs consumers want – faster than your competitors.
Case Study – Viking Yacht Company
Viking produces luxurious, high performance sport and cruising yachts up to 82 feet long. Viking designers use Autodesk Alias software to develop conceptual designs with Class A surfaces. The engineering teams incorporate this design data into their Autodesk Inventor models, which are accurate 3D digital prototypes.
The Challenge
Viking designs and manufactures 90 per cent of the items in its yachts in-house, ensuring excellence from bow to stern. The company builds up to 100 boats in a year with vessels ranging from 42 to 83 feet. They effectively compete with boats from custom builders who produce only two to four yachts a year.
''We need to complete boats faster, more economically, and with higher quality than the competition. Success depends on quick and effective design and manufacturing''
Kurt Bender, CAD manager, Design and Engineering at Viking
The Solution
Faster Conceptual Designs – By incorporating Alias software into their workflows, Viking are cutting their turnaround time on projects tremendously, which helps them get to market faster.
Easier Changes – Alias software speeds up design changes for Viking. In the past, one change could result in 40 hours of design rework. Now design changes no longer require such time-intensive manual work and can be completed in as little as an hour.
