Autodesk Inventor is the center of an open and connected product development ecosystem that enables you to make great products with professional grade engineering solutions. Deliver innovative products faster
Autodesk Inventor products provide professional grade engineering solutions for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling creation, and design communication that help you take advantage of a Digital Prototyping workflow to make great products, cost-effectively, in less time.
Autodesk Inventor software is the foundation of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping. The Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital prototype that enables you to validate the form, fit, and function of a design as you work, minimising the need to test the design with physical prototypes.
By enabling you to design, visualise, and simulate your products digitally, Inventor software helps you connect more effectively, reduce errors, and deliver great product designs faster.
Design and validate products digitally With an intuitive design environment for
developing initial concept sketches and models of parts and assemblies. Inventor software provides powerful parametric modelling, robust direct editing tools and advanced surfacing modelling capabilities with T-splines.
You can automate 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 also helps reduce the geometry burden so you can rapidly build and refine digital prototypes that validate design functions and help
minimize manufacturing costs.
Traditionally, validating the operating characteristics of a design before it was built
meant hiring expensive specialists, but with Inventor, you don't need to be a simulation expert to effectively simulate and optimise designs digitally. Inventor products include easy-to-use and tightly integrated part and assembly-level motion simulation and stress analysis functionality. By simulating stress, deflection, and motion, you can optimise and validate your design under real-world conditions, before the product or part is ever built.[product-description-end]
