Autodesk® Inventor® software provides a comprehensive and flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, simulation, tooling creation, and design communication that help designers cost-effectively take advantage of a Digital Prototyping workflow to design and build better products in less time.
Autodesk Inventor software is available within several AutoCAD Inventor Suites. These suites, which contain Autodesk Inventor technology as well as AutoCAD® Mechanical, are scalable to meet your particular needs, allowing you to cost-effectively take advantage of a Digital Prototyping workflow today.
The AutoCAD Inventor Suite is a comprehensive and flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design and documentation. The core functionality of AutoCAD Inventor Suite 2011 enables you to create an accurate digital prototype you can use to validate a design’s form, fit, and function before a product is built.
