What is Autodesk Inventor used for?

Launched by US software pioneer Autodesk in 1999, Inventor is a revolutionary CAD platform that offers pro-level 3D mechanical modelling, simulation, visualisation and documentation. Combining parametric design capabilities with specialist automated tools, file support and the integration of 2D and 3D data in a shared environment, Inventor is the choice of countless demanding mechanical engineers across the gamut of global industry.

Is Autodesk Inventor the same as AutoCAD?

The two platforms have common features, but parametric Inventor has different terminology and workflows that can make the transition a little challenging if you have a background in object-based AutoCAD. To answer another common query, be aware that Inventor CAM is only available as part of Inventor with the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection (PDMC): you don’t get Inventor CAM with standard standalone Inventor.
