Autodesk Inventor 2012

Autodesk Inventor 3d CAD software takes manufacturers beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by giving engineers a comprehensive and flexible set of tools for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling, visualization and documentation.

With Autocad 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, visualize, and simulate products digitally, helping you to build better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.

Features:

The Autodesk Inventor product line provides a comprehensive and flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling creation and design communication that help you cost-effectively take advantage of a Digital Prototyping workflow to design and build better products in less time. Autodesk Inventor software is the foundation of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping.

By enabling you to use a digital prototype to design, visualize, and simulate your products digitally, Inventor software helps you communicate more effectively, reduce errors, and deliver more innovative product designs faster.

Design and Validate Your Products Digitally
Autodesk Inventor software products include an intuitive parametric design environment for developing initial concept sketches and kinematic models of parts and assemblies. Inventor software automates the advanced geometry creation of intelligent components, such as plastic parts, steel frames, rotating machinery, tube and pipe runs, and electrical cable and wire harnesses. Inventor software helps reduce the geometry burden so you can rapidly build and refine digital prototypes that validate design functions and help minimize manufacturing costs.

Streamline Mold Design
The Autodesk Inventor product line includes automated mold design tools that work directly from Inventor 3D models of plastic parts. Powered by Autodesk Moldflow plastic flow analysis tools, Inventor can help to optimize your design for moldability and minimize the number of mold iterations.


Improve Design Communication and Collaboration
Reduce errors and associated engineering change orders before manufacturing by generating manufacturing documentation directly from your validated 3D digital prototype. Inventor offers rapid and accurate output of production-ready drawings directly from the 3D model. Inventor product bundles also include AutoCAD Mechanical software for situations that require a high-productivity 2D mechanical drafting tool.
