Autodesk Inventor Professional

Autodesk® Inventor® Professional 3D CAD software can help you design, visualize, and simulate a more complete digital representation of your end product. It includes all of the core 3D mechanical design, CAD productivity, and design communication functionality of Autodesk Inventor plus extended capabilities for creating tooling for manufacturable plastic parts, complex routed systems design, and optimizing and validating the performance of a design digitally, minimizing the need to test the design with physical prototypes.

Easy-to-use and tightly integrated motion simulation and stress analysis tools in Autodesk Inventor Professional can help you predict how the design will work under real-world conditions so you can get better products to market faster. Autodesk Inventor Professional also automates key aspects of the design of injection molds for plastic parts, complex tube and pipe runs, and electrical cable and harness designs to help you minimize errors and gain an edge over your competition.

Autodesk Inventor Professional 2012 Enhancements
Autodesk Inventor Professional 2012 software offers all the core features of Autodesk Inventor 2012, plus extended tooling, routed systems, and simulation tools to design, visualize, and simulate complete 3D digital prototypes.

Improved Design & Documentation Productivity
Autodesk Inventor allows you to generate engineering and manufacturing documentation from a validated digital prototype to reduce errors and deliver designs in less time.

Sustainable Design
The Eco Materials Adviser in Inventor 2012 can enable mechanical designers to optimize material selection based on environmental impact and cost while considering performance.
