Autodesk Inventor 2019: Deliver Innovative Products Faster

Autodesk Inventor software provides professional-grade engineering solutions for 3D
mechanical design, simulation, tool creation, and design communication that help you to make great products, cost-effectively, in less time. Inventor is the foundation of the Autodesk solution for product development. The Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital model that enables you to validate the form, fit, and function of a design as you work, minimizing the need to test the design with physical prototypes.

Facing these Challenges?

■ Increase innovation while reducing time to market
■ Repurpose existing DWG™ design data
■ Prepare non-native CAD models for new designs
■ Optimize product performance while minimizing physical
prototypes
■ Rapidly create production-ready drawings for manufacturing
■ Reduce time spent searching for designs for reuse
■ Piping and wiring designs take too long to develop
■ Multiple CAD systems for design and manufacturing
■ Automate processes to satisfy demands for mass customization

Integrated 2D and 3D Design:
With Inventor, you can easily integrate AutoCAD and 3D data into a single digital model to create a virtual representation of the final product. Inventor helps you realize the benefits of 3D product development by providing an associative link to native DWG files that ensures accuracy in your design. Utilizing valuable DWG data with Inventor can help you compete more effectively, service your clients better, and make great products.

Tools for Digital Manufacturing:
There is a growing demand for engineering organizations to get design data to manufacturing more efficiently. Inventor provides model-based definition for adding all necessary fabrication instruction information directly to the 3D model. This eliminates
the need for a traditional 2D drawing used by CNC programmers for tolerances and surface finish on the design.

Improve design collaboration and communication
Inventor is tightly integrated with Autodesk Vault, enabling the efficient and secure exchange of design data and promoting early collaboration between design and manufacturing workgroups. AnyCAD technology enables collaboration in a multi-CAD
environment by providing an associative connection with STEP, CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, PTC Creo, Wildfire, Autodesk Alias, and AutoCAD directly to Inventor without file translation.

Create the best design possible
Inventor includes topology optimization tools for the optimization and light-weighting of your design. Shape generator provides an intelligent strategy for coming up with the best design possible by removing unnecessary geometry from your model that doesn’t
contribute to the overall stiffness. It is based on loading conditions and the target weight requirements for your design.

10 Reasons to choose Inventor:

■ Shape generator helps to promote the best design possible
■ Open and connected workflow for non-native Inventor data
■ Flexible modeling tools include parametric and free-form
■ Large assembly and drawing performance
■ Rules-based design and automation tools to accelerate design
■ Advanced visualization, illustration, and animation tools
■ Automated and associative bill of materials
■ Robust motion simulation and stress analysis tools
■ Design tools for routing rigid pipes, bent tubes, and flexible hoses
■ Provide fabrication information directly to your 3D model
