Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection Overview
The Product Design and Manufacturing Collection is a comprehensive suite of software applications designed to enhance the capabilities of Inventor and AutoCAD.
It is particularly useful for engineers who work on designing complex and customised products, equipment, and systems. With the PDMC, users can extend Inventor’s capabilities by adding plug-ins for tolerance analysis, simulation, and production layout.
Additionally, the PDMC offers access to connected products that enable 2D drafting, large-scale design review, and visualisation. Furthermore, users can connect to Fusion 360 to access next-generation capabilities and collaborate with other team members.
Overall, the PDMC Collection is a powerful tool that offers an array of features and functionalities to help engineers streamline their design processes and achieve their goals efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is there any CAM capabilities inside the PD&M Collection?
Yes, the Product, Design, and Manufacturing (PD&M) collection includes CAM capabilities, specifically HSM and Inventor CAM. These tools allow users to generate manufacturing toolpaths directly from 3D models, streamlining the design-to-production process.
-
Why a PD&M collection & not just purchase the products I want separately?
Having the full collection allows you to design and make your products with the full collection of tools that work inside Inventor, including Inventor Nastran, Inventor CAM, Inventor Nesting and more. You also get the full suite of specialised toolsets available with AutoCAD, along with new cloud-based technology with Fusion 360. Another benefit is that you can choose between subscriptions that provide single-user access for an individual or give teams permission to share licences with multi-user access.
-
Can Inventor export a Bill of Materials? (BOM)
Yes, Autodesk Inventor can export a detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) directly from the design or assembly. It includes part numbers, quantities, and descriptions, and can be exported in formats like Excel, CSV, or XML. This makes it easy to share with manufacturers and manage production planning efficiently.
-
Is Inventor part of the Autodesk PDM collection?
Yes, Autodesk Inventor is included in the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing (PD&M) collection. This suite provides a comprehensive set of tools for product design and manufacturing, integrating Inventor with other key Autodesk applications.

Reviews
"Inventor drives efficiency and leads"Without Autodesk Inventor, we wouldn’t be able to translate the customer’s desires into a workable design as easily. Now our quotes and drawings are much more accurate.Head of Technology & Purchasing | Vent-A-Hood"PD&M Collection allows CLE to streamline processes"Inventor has most definitely sped up our process & made things more repeatable. Vault has saved us with revisions, sometimes we had to get back to an older version & it's saved us in that matter.President | Can Lines Engineering
