Inventor
™
software provides a comprehensive set
of design tools for producing, validating, and documenting
complete digital prototypes—helping manufacturers get
to market faster with fewer physical prototypes and more
innovative products.
Experience your design before it’s built.
The Autodesk Inventor product family is
redefining traditional CAD workflows by helping
engineers focus on the functional requirements
of a design to drive the creation of complex 3D
geometry. Reducing the time spent on geometry
allows engineers to spend more time innovating
designs. By rapidly building digital prototypes that
validate a design’s function, engineers can catch
errors before they reach production. With creative
approaches to accelerate and simplify the concept-
to-manufacturing process, Inventor has outsold all
competitors for the seventh consecutive year.

The Right Tools for Your Design Process
Inventor helps designers to realize the benefits of
Digital Prototyping by giving them the freedom to
reuse their existing DWG™ designs in a 3D design
environment. Inventor lets users read and write
native DWG files without risking inaccurate trans-
lations, and leverage valuable DWG data to build
accurate 3D part models the first time. Inventor
includes tools to easily create and document 3D
designs, and provides unparalleled interoperability
with competitive manufacturing applications—
simplifying collaboration with other companies.
