Autodesk® Inventor® 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 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.
Reuse More CAD Design Data
Complications around reusing valuable legacy 2D data and sharing non-native CAD data are one of the largest drains on engineering productivity. Inventor 2012 continues to expand its ability to use data from other CAD sources and provide industry-leading integration of 2D and 3D data.
New Standards for 3D Modeling Ease of Use
Autodesk Inventor 2012 sets new standards for 3D modeling ease of use, providing the most straightforward ways to define and modify parts and assemblies. Inventor 2012 removes the complexity from the 3D CAD experience, helping you to focus on the problem you are trying to solve rather than spending time mastering techniques for creating 3D geometry and wrestling with complex dialog boxes.
Improved Design Sharing
Inventor 2012 improves design communication and collaboration with stakeholders and customers using the same digital prototype used to design and validate their designs.
