The Autodesk® Inventor® product line provides a comprehensive and flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, and design communication that help you cost-effectively take advantage of a Digital Prototyping workflow to design and build better products in less time.

Autodesk® Inventor® software allows you to safely integrate AutoCAD® and 3D data into a single digital model to create a digital prototype of the final product. Because the Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital prototype, you can optimize and validate your designs digitally before creating a physical prototype.

Validate and predict how product designs will work under real-world conditions before they are built. Autodesk® Inventor® Simulation includes all the core functionality of the Autodesk Inventor plus easy-to-use and tightly integrated motion simulation and stress analysis tools.

Create and validate a 3D digital prototype that includes routed systems. The Autodesk® Inventor® Routed Systems Suite includes all the core functionality of Autodesk Inventor plus automated tools for designing routed systems, including complex tube and pipe runs and electrical cable and harness design.

Automate the design of injection molds for plastic parts. The Autodesk® Inventor® Tooling Suite includes all the core functionality of the Autodesk Inventor plus automated tools that leverage a digital prototype to quickly create and validate complete mold designs, reducing errors and improving mold performance.

Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software includes all the extended routed systems design, tooling creation, and simulation features with the core functionality of the Autodesk Inventor.

Autodesk® Alias Design™ software optimizes the creative design process with industry-leading sketching, modeling, and visualization tools that help you quickly realize ideas in a single environment. With the AliasStudio line of products, your designers can capture ideas digitally—from initial sketches through 3D concept models. They can easily share these models with your engineering team, using a common file format. This lets you incorporate a product’s conceptual design data into the digital prototype—saving time and effort.

AliasStudio Overview

Save time and money by making informed design decisions on digital prototypes. Autodesk® Showcase™ software creates accurate, realistic imagery from 3D digital design data to communicate form and brand character. Showcase helps users present and review designs in an environment in which team members can make reliable decisions locally and via remote sessions—resulting in an efficient and economical design review process.
