What it is, and why teams use it.
What Alias is
Alias is Autodesk's industrial design software for concept sketching, technical surfacing and Class-A surface modelling. It is the standard in automotive design studios and across consumer product design.
The Alias family covers the whole design pipeline. Alias Concept handles sketching, fast concept modelling and visualisation. Alias Surface refines concept models into production-ready Class-A surfaces for automotive and consumer products. Alias AutoStudio brings the complete set together: concept modelling, analysis, technical surfacing and visualisation. Storm FX was the sole Alias reseller in Australia before Autodesk acquired the product, and still supplies Alias to design studios, manufacturers and design schools across Australia and New Zealand.
Where it fits
Storm FX supplies Alias Concept, Alias Surface and Alias AutoStudio to design studios and education providers across Australia and New Zealand. We'll help pick the right tier for each desk.
