Autodesk Inventor - Advanced 3D Design

Autodesk Inventor software is the core for the production of digital prototypes, enabling you to produce an accurate 3D model that validates the form, fit, and function of a design before it is built, saving you time and money. Cost-effective and easy to learn, the Autodesk Inventor product line provides a flexible set of software for 3D design.

Core features of Autodesk® Inventor® software include:

3D Mechanical Design

Autodesk Inventor 3D mechanical design software products include an intuitive parametric design environment for developing initial concept sketches and kinematic models of parts and assemblies.
Functional design tools enable you to focus on a design’s function to drive the creation of intelligent components, such as plastic parts, steel frames, and rotating machinery.

Inventor helps reduce the geometry burden so you can rapidly build and refine digital prototypes. These 3D digital prototypes then help you validate design functions and help minimise manufacturing costs.

•    Layout and system design
•    Plastic part design
•    Sheet metal part design
•    Assembly design

Design Communication and Data Management

Easily generate and share production-ready drawings with manufacturing teams and outside suppliers. Inventor allows you to generate engineering and manufacturing documentation helping you to reduce errors and deliver designs in less time.

Extending the advantages of AutoCAD software, Inventor takes manufacturing documentation to the next level through automatic generation of drawing views and comprehensive tools for finishing drawings.

•    Design & manufacturing documentation
•    3D Visualisation & design communication
•    Data management
