Autodesk, Inc. announced that it has passed the one million mark for users of its 3D model-based design solutions — Autodesk Inventor software, Autodesk Revit software and AutoCAD Civil 3D software. This milestone underscores the broad demand for Autodesk’s 3D solutions that deliver digital prototyping, allowing customers to visualize and simulate the real-world performance of their designs without a heavy reliance on costly physical prototypes.

With digital prototypes, companies can not only see, but also experience their designs before they’re built. Through the digital prototyping process of detailed visualization, precise analysis and real-time simulation, Autodesk’s advanced 3D tools give customers the ability to accurately model their designs — allowing them to optimize and make performance-related changes early in the design process.

Gulf Stream Coach, a world-class RV manufacturer based in Nappanee, Indiana, is the largest privately held full-line recreational vehicle manufacturer in the United States, offering 26 brands and more than 100 models. The company is a long-time Autodesk customer, having used AutoCAD software as its primary design tool for more than a decade. Gulf Stream Coach recently purchased Autodesk’s millionth 3D seat among almost a dozen seats of Inventor software. Gulf Stream is already employing Inventor to design its new Class A toy hauler which will launch later this year.
