Autodesk Inventor software provides engineers with a complete set of powerful mechanical design solutions for 3D modeling, simulation, visualization, and documentation. With Inventor software, engineers can create a virtual representation of the final product to validate the form, fit, and function before it’s built. It includes powerful modeling tools, multi-CAD translation capabilities, and native DWG drawings to help you reduce development costs, make great products, and get your products to market faster.
Autodesk Inventor is used by mechanical designers and engineers who need automated and specialized tools to design and prepare for manufacturing.
