Autodesk Inventor software gives you the ability to create and explore a complete product before it is built. Inventor software makes it easy to realizethe benefits of Digital Prototyping by integrating 2D AutoCAD drawings and 3D data into a single digital model. This single digital model creates a virtual representation of the final product that helps companies to better design, visualize, and simulate their product with less reliance on costly physical prototypes—helping to improve time to market, and increase competitive advantage.

Design better products using 3D. Inventor software offers a wide range of tools to simplify the transition from 2D to 3D design and helps users become productive immediately. Breakthroughs in assembly design and part modeling provide design tools that are dramatically easier to learn and use. Intuitive sketching and direct manipulation modeling offer an uninterrupted workflow for quickly exploring and evaluating concepts. Specialized features accelerate the design of plastic parts and sheet metal. In addition, easy-to-use tools help to guide assembly creation, so that every part and component fits together correctly.

Autodesk Inventor software features rules-based design and automation tools to accelerate the design process by automating common tasks, enabling users to focus on design intent rather than manually modeling geometry. Inventor software captures the functional requirements of a design to drive the automatic creation of intelligent components and accelerate design cycles. Inventor iLogic technology dramatically simplifies rules-based design to help any Inventor user—even those with little or no programming experience—define complex product configurations, increase engineering productivity, and optimize designs.

Quickly and easily create stunning renderings, animations, and presentations that improve communication with your design partners and customers. Autodesk Inventor software provides industry-leading visualization, illustration, and animation tools directly in the default workspace, giving you a realistic representation of your design at all times. Dynamic shading, precise lighting control, and the included library of highresolution textures make it easy to create nearphotorealistic scenes of your final products in actual environments. Autodesk® Product Design Suite offers expansive visualization capabilities with tight Inventor interoperability, enabling you to communicate design intent and experience your design as if it were already manufactured.

Autodesk Inventor maximizes reuse of valuable design assets through a comprehensive set of translators that read and write files from other CAD applications. With direct read and write of true DWG format, Inventor users can share design data efficiently and accurately. Inventor enables users to integrate AutoCAD drawings and 3D CAD data into a single digital representation of the final product. It also includes tools specifically for designers and fabricators who work with architects, builders, and contractors. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) exchange functionality enables data sharing between Inventor and Autodesk® Revit® products and AutoCAD® Architecture software.

Easily generate and share production-ready drawings for manufacturing teams and outside suppliers. Autodesk Inventor software enables you to generate engineering and manufacturing documentation from a validated digital prototype to reduce errors and deliver designs in less time. Maximize reuse of 2D AutoCAD drawing assets and create drawings faster in Inventor. Simply call out drawing views, including front, side, ISO, detail, section, and auxiliary views, and Autodesk Inventor projects the geometry. Generate automated and associative parts lists and BOM's developed specifically for manufacturing. With automatic updating, changes ripple through the entire design to help keep everyone on schedule with accurate part counting, identification, andordering. Inventor enables you to create true DWG based drawings of 2D and 3D designsfrom virtually any CAD source.

Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software provides the ability to optimize and validate product performance before the product is built. A comprehensive simulation environment provides support for motion simulation, as well as static and modal finite element analysis (FEA) of parts, assemblies, and load-bearing frames. Inventor Professional also includes Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow® plastic injection molding simulation tools to validate the design of injection molds for plastic parts

Autodesk® Subscription now gives you a greater advantage with Autodesk® 360 capabilities to help you increase mobility, improve collaboration, and optimize your designs—advancing the way you work. Document storage, sharing, and viewing in the cloud enable you to advance the way you work. Extend ideation and simulation beyond the desktop by testing the performance of multiple product design options with Autodesk Inventor optimization capability, powered by Autodesk 360. This capability makes it easy to create higher-quality products and more sustainable designs that reduce costs.

Autodesk Inventor software is preconfigured tointegrate with Autodesk® Vault, centralized data management software that enables workgroups to securely store and manage work-in-progress design data and related documents. To learn more about data management and topics such as BOM management, change and revision control, and file and folder security, review the entire family ofAutodesk Vault products

Autodesk Inventor Professional provides rulesbased routing tools that select the correct fittings and help ensure that pipe runs comply with your standards for segment length, round-off increments, and bend radius. Inventor Professional streamlines cable and harness design by using wire list information imported from schematic design packages such as AutoCAD® Electrical software. Inventor Professional automates key design aspects of injection molds for plastic parts, so you can quickly create and validate complete mold designs, reducing errors and improving mold performance.
