Master Complex Shapes

Perect Your Designs

Dene inspiring and ergonomic shapes that meet

unctional requirements, with the powerul tools in

Autodesk Alias Surace sotware. Alias Surace helps

you sculpt D models to achieve the perect union

o aesthetics and engineering. Power your creative

process with industry-leading curve-based and di-

rect modeling tools that help you ne-tune designs

in a single sotware environment, in less time.

Communicate Your Vision

Alias Surace makes it easy to create highly realistic

models. You can shade and light models to com-

municate your design vision more clearly, and

conrm that your suraces meet exacting standards.

Reviewers can evaluate high-quality imagery that

refects a range o materials and colors. The result

is quick and condent design-review decisions

without time-consuming renderings.

Speed Up Processes

When engineering teams need to redo suraces

it delays projects and can result in unintended

changes to your models. Alias Surace supports

highly streamlined workfow that lets you cont

design intent urther in the product developme

process. You can exchange design data with

engineering CAD sotware, such as Autodesk

Inventor, to preserve design integrity. And yo

create such high-quality, Class-A suraces in AlSurace that engineering teams dont need to

recreate them.

Flexible Modeling

Take advantage o a range o product modeling

techniques to visualize any orm. Autodesk Alias

Surace combines ast, repeatable curve-based

modeling tools with the ability to directly sculpt D

models.

Dynamic Shape Modeling

Experiment with shapes at any stage o the design

process. Quickly manipulate your model, exploringvariations on D orms without rebuilding geometry,

or make real-time modications in design reviews.

Shape objects dynamically with these powerul

tools:

Lattice RigSculpt geometry by manipulating a

customizable lattice created around an object.

Transormer RigUse curves and suraces as

controls to modiy or constrain portions o

existing geometry.

BendBend geometry using a curve to control

deormation.

TwistTwist geometry around a single-axis cur ve.

ConormConorm geometry to the shape o

another surace.

Rapid Prototyping

Build physical prototypes more eciently rom

digital models. With rapid prototyping, you can

develop and rene designs beore committing

to production. Print in D using STL output or

stereolithography by exporting data to computer

numerical control (CNC) machines. Alias Surace

supports D printing in color.

Design Modeling

The conceptdevelopment phasedemands closecollaboration betweendesigners and engineers

to produce concepts thatare new, yet technicallyeasible.

Take your D models to the next level. Evolve conceptsthrough a creative, iterative process.

rovides semiautomated tools or creating clean,

omplex suraces ready or tooling. For example,

ou can create a llet and accompanying fange in a

ngle operation.

xplicit Surace Control

Maintain control over suraces, creating the lightest,

ighest-quality geometry. Choose single-span

Bezier) geometry or multispan nonuniorm rational

-spline (NURBS) geometry, then dene the

umber o spans and the degree o created suraces.

urve on Surace Paradigm

recisely trim and orm edges o new suraces.hare trimmed geometry among modelers while

etaining precision.

Direct Surace Modeling

culpt suraces directly by adjusting surace control

ertices. Alias Suraces curve-based tools let you

ene a shape at its edges, or you can use direct

modeling to adjust the shape at any point. Maintain

omplete control o Bezier suraces to achieve the

xact orm and surace quality you need.

Precision Surace Modeling

Surace Evaluation

Verifythequalityofcreatedsurfaces,including

curvature and radii analysis. This ensures that

geometry can be used by CAD programs and will

meet manuacturing requirements.

Align Tool

Accurately line up suraces and curves, directly

controlling geometry alignment. Achieve high-

quality surace modeling and Class-A suraces with

new math capability or surace construction.

Bezier Surace Fillet

Create and manipulate Bezier surace llets to

address Class-A suracing requirements. Provide

superior suraces with strict Bezier output.

Develop the Class-A suraces engineering teams need tocreate tooling. Dynamic modeling capabilities help youdevelop Bezier or NURBS geometry in less time.

isualize and reverse-engineer consumer product

r vehicle models. Alias Surace helps you simpliy

nd remove data with tools or cutting, smoothing,

utomatic hole lling, and reducing mesh. The

otware can handle large models with millions o

olygons, so you can extract and evaluate shape and
