Polished product renders from legacy Product Design Suite views.
Legacy Autodesk product design suite for mechanical CAD, product visualization, and documentation
Legacy Autodesk product design suite for mechanical CAD, product visualization, and documentation
Product Design Suite projects often combined Inventor parts and assemblies, AutoCAD Mechanical drawings, Vault-managed files, and visualization tools such as 3ds Max or Showcase. RENDERCAD helps teams maintaining those legacy design sets create presentation imagery without rebuilding a rendering pipeline: capture a clean viewport or exported still of the product, fixture, enclosure, or assembly and turn it into a polished render for reviews, sales decks, manuals, and concept comparisons.
Open the Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical, or visualization view that best represents the design intent. Hide browser panels, dimensions, and title blocks unless they add context; frame the model so important surfaces, joints, hardware, scale cues, and material differences are visible; then upload the screen capture to RENDERCAD. Use the result to compare finish directions, communicate industrial design options, refresh legacy product imagery, or prepare stakeholder visuals while the source CAD remains unchanged.

Common solutions for Product Design Suite users
Because RENDERCAD is an overlay or web app, it runs independently. You can keep modeling in Product Design Suite while we process images in the background.
Open the tool, drag a box around your model on screen, and the image loads instantly for prompting. You never have to close Product Design Suite.
Prompt for material mixes like "Mesh fabric," "Rubber sole," and "Leather accents."
RENDERCAD paid plans include access to the Realistic engine, with 4K available on supported tiers.
Our "Realistic" engine is trained on millions of professional product photographs. It understands real-world lighting and materials better than manual shader settings often allow.
It acts as a powerful upscaler. It takes a jagged, low-res CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and reconstructs it into a sharp, 4K render in 10-60 seconds.
It calculates "Ambient Occlusion" (shadows in cracks) and "Soft Shadows" simultaneously, grounding the object so it doesn't look like it's floating.
Agile teams need speed. The ability to upload or snip an image, prompt, and share keeps the design conversation moving faster than traditional rendering pipelines.
It shifts the workflow from "Computing Physics" to "Describing Intent." It is the natural evolution of how we interact with digital 3D data.
Upload any photo with lighting you admire - studio shots, outdoor scenes, dramatic lighting. The AI replicates that lighting setup on your Product Design Suite model.
Use multiple reference items with overlapping masked regions. The AI intelligently blends where masks meet, creating smooth transitions between different materials or effects.
Render once, then use different lighting reference images - daytime photo vs. night scene - to generate both versions from the same model.
