Inventor Professional Features

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.

Create the best design possible

Inventor includes topology optimization tools for the optimization and lightweighting 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.
