Autodesk Inventor software is only available through the AutoCAD® Inventor® Suite product line. All AutoCAD® Inventor® Suite bundles include the latest version of AutoCAD Mechanical. The Autodesk Inventor product line provides a comprehensive and flexible set of3D modeling and mechanical design tools for producing and documenting complete3D digital prototypes that validate the form, fit, and function of a design. The Inventor model is an accurate3D digital prototype that enables users to check design and engineering data as they work, minimizing the need for physical prototypes and reducing costly engineering changes typically discovered after the design has been sent to manufacturing. Inventor provides an intuitive3D design environment for creating parts and assemblies. It enables engineers to focus on a design’s function to drive the automatic creation of intelligent components such as steel frames, rotating machinery, tube and pipe runs, electrical cables, and wire harnesses. Easy-to-use and tightly integrated motion simulation and stress analysis in Inventor make it possible for engineers to optimize and validate the digital prototype to predict how the design will work under real-world conditions, before the product or part is ever built. Autodesk® Inventor® software helps automate key aspects of the design of injection molds for plastic parts. This allows you to quickly create and validate complete mold designs, reducing errors and improving mold performance. Generating manufacturing documentation from a validated3D digital prototype helps reduce errors and associated engineering change orders (ECOs) before manufacturing. Inventor offers rapid and accurate output of production-ready drawings directly from the3D model. Inventor is tightly integrated with Autodesk Data Management applications, enabling the efficient and secure exchange of digital design data and promoting earlier collaboration between design and manufacturing workgroups. Different workgroups can manage and track all components of a digital prototype with Autodesk® Design Review software—the all-digital way to review, measure, mark up, and track changes to designs—allowing for better reuse of crucial design data, management of bills of materials (BOMs), and collaboration with other teams and partners. With different product configurations that offer specific levels of functionality to fit your design needs, no company is more focused than Autodesk on helping you create accurate digital prototypes and bring better products to market faster at less cost.
