Autodesk Inventor, Revit and Civil3D Users Total 1 Million
 SAN
RAFAEL, California, May 18, 2007 - Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a world
leader in 2D and 3D design software, today 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.
“We are very proud to have reached this significant milestone,” said Carl
Bass, Autodesk CEO. “Our one million Autodesk 3D users work for companies in
a broad range of industries across the manufacturing, building and
construction markets. These diverse companies realize the value of digital
prototypes as a competitive advantage, increasing the efficiency of their
operations and enhancing quality and innovation.”
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.
"3D modeling is fast becoming the design standard in the manufacturing,
building, and civil engineering industries,” said Michael Fauscette, VP of
Applications Research at IDC. “Customers are adopting 3D because they see
the productivity advantage of leveraging these tools into digital
prototyping workflows.”
Gulf Stream Coach Purchasers of One Millionth Seat
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.
“Autodesk Inventor provides us with the power of 3D design without
compromising our investments in 2D processes,” said Mike Potis, of the
Product Development Group at Gulf Stream Coach. “Gulf Stream is a leader in
RV manufacturing because our philosophy of lean manufacturing gives us the
ability to provide what the market requires quickly. Using Inventor will
increase our efficiency even further by allowing us to create digital
prototypes of our products while reducing our need to produce physical
prototypes. With Inventor we’ll be able to make better design decisions
faster and increase the overall value to our customers. We are a company
that invests in technologies when they add value for our customers.”
Hagerman & Company, an Autodesk Premier Solutions Provider and reseller
since 1984, worked with Gulf Stream Coach to design the full solution and
provide training services for all their engineers.
The announcement of Autodesk’s one millionth 3D user was made during the
company’s first quarter of fiscal 2008 financial results call, in which the
company reported revenue of $509 million, an increase of 17% over the first
quarter of fiscal 2007. For more information, please visit
