Inventor
Introduction

Inventor 2008

Autodesk® Inventor software is the foundation for digital prototyping. The Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital prototype that enables users to validate design and engineering data as they work, minimize the need for physical prototypes, and reduce costly engineering changes discovered after the design is sent to manufacturing. With innovative approaches to accelerate and simplify the concept-to-manufacturing process, Inventor has outsold all competitors for the sixth consecutive year.
Features
  • Digital Prototypes Make sure designs work before spending money on prototypes or manufacturing tooling. With Inventor, 3D digital prototypes are complete and accurate models that enable users to check design and engineering decisions as they work, minimize the need for physical prototypes, and avoid costly changes when the design is sent to manufacturing.

  •  
  • AutoCAD Integration Only Inventor provides DWG TrueConnect, delivering industry-leading integration of 2D and 3D design through direct read and write of the DWG format with full associativity to the 3D design data without translators.

  •  
  • Part Design With the power of functional design, Inventor helps you focus on the functional requirements of a design to drive the creation of 3D models and create competitive product designs in less time. Fully associative models help ensure that any changes to the part design are automatically reflected in the assembly and drawing files, so that the complete design and manufacturing documentation is accurate and current.

  •  
  • Assembly Design Inventor combines functional design with easy-to-use assembly tools so users can be sure that every part and component in an assembly design fits correctly. Validate interference and mass properties to produce quality products the first time around. Inventor provides powerful tools to control and manage data created by large assembly designs so users working on large assemblies can quickly complete their part of the design.

  •  
  • Design & Manufacturing Documentation Inventor takes the production of manufacturing and documentation to the next level of productivity through automatic generation of drawing views and comprehensive tools for finishing drawings. The Drawing Manager in Inventor supports all the major drawing standards, dramatically reducing the time required to complete standards-compliant drawings to help deliver the design in less time.

  •  
  • Collaboration & Communication Inventor enables the efficient and secure exchange of design data to support collaboration between different engineering contributors, including industrial design, product design, and manufacturing. Improve communication throughout your supply chain while maintaining control and security of proprietary design data.

  •  
  • Collaboration & Communication Make the most of your investment in 3D by adapting Inventor to support your companyˇ¦s design standards and engineering processes. Increase speed and productivity with configurable styles so drawings conform to standards, publish custom components in the Content Center to be sure that designers use appropriate components in their designs, and create custom tools to streamline frequently used procedures.

  •  
  • Learning Resources Inventor offers a range of learning and reference resources to help users maintain skills and quickly make the most of the 3D design environment. Learn new skills, look up information about a procedure or tool, or get the latest tips and tricks needed to stay productive.
