Autodesk Software Suite

Autodesk is a global leader in software for designers, engineers, and architects. Founded in 1982 by John Walker and a team of programmers, the company’s flagship product, AutoCAD, changed the landscape of drafting by bringing computer-aided design to the personal computer. Over the decades, the company has expanded its portfolio to include Revit, Maya, and Fusion 360, catering to industries ranging from architecture and construction to media and entertainment.

While Autodesk operates globally with development centers in various countries, its corporate identity and primary software architecture originate from the United States. The company is a publicly traded corporation on the NASDAQ, ensuring it is owned by a diverse group of institutional and individual shareholders rather than a single parent conglomerate. It continues to be a cornerstone of the Silicon Valley tech ecosystem, focusing on cloud integration and generative design technologies for the future of making.
