Introduction
Autodesk is a pioneer company in 3D design, engineering, and digital entertainment software. Since introducing its AutoCAD software in 1982 offers one of the broadest portfolios of 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software on the market. Its AutoCAD software which is primarily used by architects, engineers, and structural designers to design, draft, and model buildings and mechanical objects. Our team plans on introducing Inventor 3D CAD (2015), Autodesk’s newest professional 3D design software into the Swedish market.
