Autodesk Announces HTC Sweden as
October Inventor of the Month
Innovative Manufacturer Builds 80 Percent Fewer Physical Prototypes
By Embracing Digital Prototyping
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today (071003) announced that HTC Sweden, the market leader in machines for grinding and polishing stone floors, has been named Autodesk Inventor of the Month for October. The Inventor of the Month program (www.autodesk.com/inventorofthemonth) recognizes the most innovative design and engineering advancements made by the extensive community using Autodesk Inventor software.
“The time is long gone when you could afford to have the design and engineering departments working separately and updating one another with drawings,” said Karl Thysell, product development head at HTC Sweden. “Product information should be stored in one place and available to everyone so that feedback from one department to another can be delivered in a structured, digital form. The full suite of products that Autodesk provides — from AliasStudio and Inventor during the concepting and engineering phases, to ProductStream for managing the product development lifecycle — has been invaluable in helping us create and manage a digital workflow.”

Each month, Autodesk selects an Inventor of the Month from the more than 600,000 users of Autodesk Inventor software, the foundation for Digital Prototyping. Winners are chosen for engineering excellence and groundbreaking innovation.
