Autodesk® Inventor® 2012
Autodesk Inventor – 3D CAD software
Autodesk® Inventor® 2012 software takes manufacturers beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by giving engineers a comprehensive and flexible set of tools for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling, visualisation and documentation.
With Inventor software, engineers can integrate 2D AutoCAD® drawings and 3D data into a single digital model, creating a virtual representation of the final product that enables them to validate the form, fit, and function of the product before it is ever built.
Digital Prototyping with Inventor software enables you to design, visualise, and simulate products digitally, helping you to build better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.
Change it once, change it everywhere. Inventor software associates drawing views to the original components, so a change made to any part or assembly is automatically reflected in all associated drawing sheets.
Autodesk Inventor can help you:
- Integrate data from AutoCAD® software and 3D data and create a virtual representation of the final product
- Streamline projects that require opening third-party CAD data
- Improve productivity by automating repetitive design workflows
- Better collaborate with accurate 2D documentation and 3D visualisation tools
- Efficiently and securely exchange design data with integrated data management
- Optimise material selection based on environmental impact, cost, and performance to make better sustainable design decisions
Autodesk Inventor Professional
Includes all of the core 3D mechanical design, CAD productivity, and design communication functionality of Autodesk Inventor, plus extended capabilities for creating tooling for manufactured plastic parts, complex routed systems design, and optimising and validating the performance of a design digitally.
Easy-to-use and tightly integrated motion simulation and stress analysis tools in Autodesk Inventor Professional can help you predict how the design will work under real-world conditions so you can get better products to market faster.
Autodesk Inventor Professional also automates key aspects of the design of injection molds for plastic parts, complex tube and pipe runs, and electrical cable and harness designs to help you minimise errors and gain an edge over your competition.
