<p><a href="/facts/Autodesk/6aydGFN5">Autodesk</a> Alias (formerly known as <a href="/facts/Alias_Systems_Corporation/sLmptLKc">Alias</a> StudioTools) is a family of <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_industrial_design/nSwb0dNA">computer-aided industrial design</a> (CAID) software predominantly used in <a href="/facts/Automotive_design/u01gjqf9">automotive design</a> and <a href="/facts/Industrial_design/6oBprKds">industrial design</a> for generating <a href="/facts/Class_A_surfaces/IMm02Fds">class A surfaces</a>  using  <a href="/facts/B%25C3%25A9zier_surface/F1FlWnId">Bézier surface</a> and <a href="/facts/Non-uniform_rational_B-spline/MA0NjmeC">non-uniform rational B-spline</a> (NURBS) modeling method.
</p><p>The product is sold specifically as CAID rather than CAD, and its tools and abilities are oriented more towards the "styling" aspect of design - that is to say, the product's housing and outer appearance. It does not go into mechanical detail like other CAD programs such as <a href="/facts/Siemens_NX/xmq4X4xs">Siemens NX</a>,  <a href="/facts/Autodesk_Inventor/VsbUFHsP">Inventor</a>, <a href="/facts/CATIA/l5wbF6FL">CATIA</a>, <a href="/facts/ProEngineer/NdA84tdV">Creo</a> and <a href="/facts/SolidWorks/TunrvoWl">SolidWorks</a>.
