Autodesk Inventor is paid 3D mechanical design software for parts, assemblies and production drawings. Autodesk offers a 30-day free trial; after that, it requires a subscription, alone or in the Product Design and Manufacturing Collection.
Inventor is Autodesk’s professional 3D CAD program for mechanical design. Engineers use it to model parts, build assemblies, check how they move and fit, and produce manufacturing drawings, from single components to complete machines and factory equipment.
Main capabilities
- Parametric part modelling: sketch-based features driven by dimensions and parameters.
- Assemblies: constrain parts together, check interference and motion.
- Drawings: create production-ready 2D drawings from 3D models.
- iLogic automation: capture design rules so that configurable products can be generated from inputs instead of being modelled by hand.
