Autodesk® Inventor® 3D CAD software products offer a comprehensive, flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, engineer to order, and design communication. Inventor takes you beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by enabling you to produce an accurate 3D model that can help you design, visualize, and simulate your products before they are built. Digital Prototyping with Inventor helps companies design better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.
Autodesk Inventor comes in different product configurations that offer specific levels of functionality to fit your design needs.
What’s New in Inventor 2013
With the latest 2013 version of Inventor 3D CAD software, you can integrate 2D AutoCAD® software drawings and 3D data into a single digital model. This creates a virtual representation that can enable you to validate the form, fit, function, and environmental impact of the product before it is ever built. We listened to you and improved our accessibility features, training tutorials, drawing capability, sketching tools, AutoCAD compatibility, and customization features.
