Upskill Your Workforce in AutoCAD Mechanical Design

AutoCAD Mechanical is Autodesk's mechanical-engineering toolset built on AutoCAD, designed specifically for manufacturing and product design. It adds a large library of standards-based parts and features (fasteners, shafts, springs, and steel shapes), automated drafting tools, layer management, and bill-of-materials and balloon generation, all built around international drafting standards such as ANSI, ISO, DIN, JIS, GB, and BSI. Teams that know AutoCAD Mechanical produce production-ready mechanical drawings far faster than they can in base AutoCAD, with fewer errors and consistent documentation.

As manufacturers push to shorten product development cycles and keep design documentation consistent, this program helps your teams produce accurate, standards-compliant mechanical drawings faster in AutoCAD Mechanical. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Built around your products and drafting standards, the program turns AutoCAD Mechanical skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your design, drafting, and engineering teams.

By the end of the program, your team can set up standards-driven drawings, reuse mechanical content, detail parts and assemblies, and generate associative bills of materials in AutoCAD Mechanical. The result is shorter drafting time, fewer revision errors, consistent documentation across projects, and a measurable lift in the speed and quality of the designs your business ships.
