 Design software. It helps you 

design innovative consumer product models, ad-
dressing the unique creative requirements of the 
industrial design workflow. Alias Design powers 
your creative process with industry-leading sketch-
ing, modeling, and visualization tools. Using Alias 
Design, you can bring ideas to reality in a single 
software environment, in less time. 

Capture and Communicate Design Intent

Tell your story clearly and persuasively—help team 
members and customers understand your design 
intent. Alias Design provides a complete set of tools 
for producing innovative designs and communicat-
ing concepts to others. It helps reduce the time 
required to create high-quality imagery for clear, 
efficient, and effective communication. As a result, 
design review decisions are made quickly, and proj-
ects progress seamlessly.

Own the Design

Alias Design helps you maintain design integrity 
throughout the product development process. 
It provides tools for efficiently refining model 
details and creating production-quality data for 
downstream use. You own designs and incorporate 
changes later in the process, increasing the 
flexibility of design decisions and preventing loss or 
alteration of design intent during the engineering 
phase. Alias Design helps designers and engineers 
collaborate effectively, ensuring that designs 
address both aesthetic and functional requirements. 

Specialized Design Tools

Alias Design unleashes innovation with features 
that support problem solving and experimentation. 
An enhanced set of tools for sketching, illustration, 
and image editing and functionality meets the 
requirements for: 
•  Concept exploration
•  Design modeling
•  Visualization and communication
•  Productive environment
•  Process integration
