(Nasdaq: ADSK), a global leader in design and engineering software, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire **netfabb**, a renowned German developer specializing in advanced software solutions for industrial additive manufacturing. Additionally, Autodesk will be making a strategic investment in **FIT Technology Group**, the parent company of netfabb, which provides cutting-edge additive manufacturing software and services.
