Build Scalable CAD, BIM, Manufacturing, and Engineering Applications with ProtoTech

Autodesk Platform Services is a set of cloud APIs and developer tools that allow businesses to access, visualize, automate, and connect Autodesk Design and Make data. With deep expertise in 3D visualization, CAD/BIM interoperability, design automation, cloud data integration, and Autodesk APS development, ProtoTech Solutions enables businesses to transform Autodesk design and make data into scalable digital products, connected workflows, and intelligent engineering platforms.

Whether you want to build a web-based 3D viewer, automate Revit, AutoCAD, or Inventor workflows, integrate Autodesk data with enterprise systems, develop a digital twin, or create a custom cloud CAD/BIM application, ProtoTech Solutions provides the technical expertise to design, develop, deploy, and scale your APS-powered solution.

Our Autodesk Platform Services Expertise

Our team has designed and developed multiple products, custom software applications, workflow automation tools, data interoperability solutions, and 3D visualization platforms using APS technologies.

  • Enterprise-grade application security
  • Secure backend architecture
  • API usage monitoring and governance

 

Our secure integration approach helps businesses build reliable APS applications for internal teams, external customers, and enterprise users.

6. AEC Data Model API Expertise

The AEC Data Model API enables access to granular design data, elements, parameters, and project information directly from the cloud. We help AEC businesses use Autodesk cloud data more intelligently through the AEC Data Model API.

 

AEC Data Model Use Cases:

  • Element-level data extraction
  • Revit and BIM parameter analysis
  • Design change tracking
  • BIM data dashboards
  • Project-level reporting
  • Model quality checks
  • Design compliance workflows
  • Cloud-based BIM data search
  • Custom analytics for AEC teams
  • Integration with construction and facility management systems
7. Manufacturing Data Model API Expertise

We develop manufacturing and product engineering solutions using the APS Manufacturing Data Model API. This API helps access and manage product design and manufacturing data through cloud-based queries and integrations.

 

Manufacturing Data Workflows We Support:

  • Fusion data extraction
  • Component hierarchy analysis
  • Physical property extraction
  • Material and mass property access
  • Product structure mapping
  • BOM-related data workflows
  • Manufacturing data integration
  • Sustainability and lifecycle assessment integration
  • PLM and ERP connectivity
  • Engineering data reporting

Our expertise in manufacturing data models helps companies connect product design data to enterprise systems, sustainability tools, cost analysis platforms, and manufacturing workflows.

8. Data Exchange API and Interoperability Solutions

We help companies share, extract, transform, and integrate design data across multiple applications and teams.

 

Data Exchange Solutions Include:

  • Selective model data sharing
  • CAD/BIM data transformation
  • Data exchange between Autodesk and non-Autodesk platforms
  • Integration with business intelligence dashboards

Our APS Success Stories: What We Have Built

We do not just integrate APIs. We design complete engineering software solutions that solve real business and environmental problems.

Our APS Success Stories: What We Have Built
APS Viewer Integration

We develop web-based 2D/3D model viewers using the APS Viewer SDK, enabling users to view, rotate, pan, zoom, inspect properties, and explore model hierarchies directly in a browser. A ProtoTech case study highlights the implementation of APS Viewer for Revit file visualization using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Revit and BIM File Visualization

We help AEC and BIM teams visualize Revit files on the web by uploading models to APS, converting them into viewable formats such as SVF, and loading them into the APS Viewer for interactive model review.

Model Derivative and File Conversion Workflows

We work with APS capabilities such as the Model Derivative API to translate CAD/BIM files into web-viewable formats, extract metadata, and support cloud-based viewing workflows. Autodesk’s APS documentation also positions APS APIs for 3D visualization, automation, and data management integrations.

Data Management and Cloud Storage Integration

We build APS-based solutions that connect Autodesk data with external cloud platforms. In one Revit visualization project, ProtoTech supported secure AWS S3 file access using signed URLs and enabled flexible loading of files from cloud storage and local sources.

APS Design Automation API

We leveraged the Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Design Automation API to extend EcoDesigner support for Autodesk Inventor models. By developing an Inventor plugin to automatically extract physical properties from assembly components and connect them with the EcoDesigner WebApp, we helped streamline sustainability analysis workflows. This cloud-based automation reduced manual effort, improved turnaround time, and enabled seamless environmental impact assessment for Inventor-based product designs.
