Autodesk Inventor Professional 10

Start with the world’s best-selling 3D mechanical design software, Autodesk Inventor® Series. Add specialized functionality for cable and wire harness, tubing and piping, and importing PCB IDF files, and you've got Autodesk Inventor® Professional, the best way to connect design teams with manufacturing engineers. Because it can integrate your existing 2D designs into your 3D design environment, it’s a safe and easy path to specialized 3D design.

Overview

Autodesk Inventor® Professional software combines the power of Autodesk Inventor® Series with specialized tools to design routed systems, validate parts, and import IDF files. In addition to the specialized functionality, this integrated application includes Autodesk Inventor® Series for 2D and 3D design, AutoCAD® Mechanical for 2D drafting and documentation, and Autodesk® Vault, an integrated data management tool for synchronizing design-related efforts across multiple teams. With Autodesk Inventor Professional, you can quickly and easily

* Design virtual models of wiring, cables, and harnesses
* Create tubing, piping, and flexible hosing automatically
* Analyze part models for strengths and weaknesses
* Create printed circuit board geometry
* Communicate and manage design data

Now you can quickly develop a complete 3D model of your product, minimizing design errors and reducing costs. With a virtual 3D model, you can check that all parts, including tubing, piping, printed circuit boards, wire harnesses, and cables, fit together properly. And it comes in one simple-to-deploy application that offers tremendous value at a reasonable price.

Truth in 3D

3D is not just for the largest aerospace or automotive manufacturers. 3D is for anyone looking for a serious business advantage.  Discover the way to a new world of design with Autodesk Inventor® software.  Explore new design ideas, realize enhanced productivity and produce higher-quality products by moving from 2D tools to Autodesk Inventor, an innovative 3D design technology.

Enhanced Productivity—The depth of detail captured in 3D models makes it dramatically easier to eliminate quality problems and costly delays. It also enables manufacturers to reduce design cycles while raising quality, boost productivity without adding staff, and turn out more completed designs in less time.

Produce Higher Quality Products—The immersive 3D environment—combined with sophisticated automation—frees designers to focus on designing rather than drafting. 3D models communicate intent clearly, and make it easier to test for fit, function, and interpretation early. In turn, oversights and errors that lead to rework and headaches are slashed.

Customer Stories & Quotes
"Designing is much easier and more intuitive with Autodesk Inventor. It's allowed us to turn draftsmen into designers. I don't know how a company can survive in a 2D world today."

Functional Design
Whether you’re already using 3D or thinking about moving to 3D, functional design will change the way you work. Just start with an idea and let the software transform it into an intelligent model that reflects how your products perform under realistic conditions. When you have the ability to design with real-world functionality in mind, the need for physical prototypes goes away, your time to market plummets, and ROI increases. It’s just a better way of doing things.
