Professional-grade 3D CAD software (video: 1:52 min.)
It starts with Inventor
Autodesk Inventor is professional-grade 3D CAD software for product design and engineering. Getting Inventor in the collection will provide a complete set of applications that work inside of Inventor for powerful simulation, tolerance analysis, manufacturing tools, and factory planning.
Evaluate the cost impact of dimensional variation
Balance mechanical fit and performance with the cost of tighter tolerances based on an analysis of the cumulative dimensional variation between mating geometry.
Integrated tolerance analysis (video: 2:40 min.)
Integrated factory layout design (video: 2:47 min.)
Fully understand your product performance and its limits
Choose from a complete portfolio of powerful study types to help you optimize your design before it is released for production.
Advanced digital design simulation (video: 1:35 min.)
Optimize deployments and manage teams
Accomplish administrator tasks efficiently with modern authentication options, replication, and user and group management.
Connected Applications
Connect your data and teams with powerful tools for 2D and 3D design workflows.
