Inventor LT Suite 2012, 5 Users, ES <b>3D CAD and Simulation for Mechanical Design</b>
Autodesk® Inventor® 3D CAD software products offer a comprehensive, flexible set of software for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, engineer to order, and design communication. Inventor takes you beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by enabling you to produce an accurate 3D model that can help you design, visualize, and simulate your products before they are built. Digital Prototyping with Inventor helps companies design better products, reduce development costs, and get to market faster.

Autodesk Inventor comes in different product configurations that offer specific levels of functionality to fit your design needs.

<b>Inventor: 3D CAD Software for Mechanical Design</b>

<b>Create an Accurate 3D Digital Prototype</b>
Autodesk® Inventor® 3D mechanical design software includes CAD productivity and design communication tools that can help you reduce errors, communicate more effectively, and deliver more innovative product designs faster. The Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital prototype that can validate the form, fit, and function of a design as you work and unites direct modeling and parametric workflows so you always have the right tool for the job.
Inventor can help you:

- Integrate data from AutoCAD® software and 3D data into a single digital model and create a virtual representation of the final product;
- Streamline projects that require opening third-party CAD data;
- Improve productivity by automating repetitive design workflows;
- Better collaborate with accurate 2D documentation and 3D visualization tools;
- Efficiently and securely exchange design data with integrated data management;
- Optimize material selection based on environmental impact, cost, and performance to make better sustainable design decisions.

<b>Extended Capabilities for Plastic Mold Design, Routed Systems Design, and Integrated Motion Simulation and Stress Analysis</b>
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:

- Optimizing and validating with integrated simulation tools, minimizing the need to test the design with physical prototypes;
- Designing routed systems of complex tube and pipe runs;
- Electrical cable and harness designs;
- Creating tooling for manufacturable plastic parts.

<b>Add 3D Mechanical CAD at Your Own Pace</b>
Autodesk® Inventor LT™ 3D mechanical CAD software delivers the powerful 3D part-level design capabilities of Autodesk Inventor 3D CAD software. Practical and affordable, Inventor LT offers a cost-effective way to introduce 3D part modeling into your 2D drafting workflows.

- Add the power of 3D mechanical design—Design parts faster and better using 3D;
- Leverage DWG—Create and update production DWG™ drawings more quickly and easily;
- Accept projects that use third-party CAD data—Work with 3D data, including non-native assemblies from customers and suppliers;
- Fully interoperable with AutoCAD LT—Reuse your 2D data to start designing in 3D;
- Sheet metal capabilities—Help minimize manufacturing cost.

<b>3D Modeling for Rapid Design Changes</b>
Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion technology provides a single, simplified user interface for viewing and editing 3D data, regardless of the software used to create it. It doesn’t matter if the data was created with Inventor, Pro/Engineer®, SolidWorks®, Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow® software, or virtually any other 3D modeling software package. All users running Inventor Fusion experience the same environment, one created for ultimate ease of use.

By uniting direct modeling and parametric workflows, Inventor Fusion offers the best of both worlds. Designers can freely explore complex shapes and forms while maintaining the underlying parametric history. Inventor Fusion makes it easy to open and edit 3D models from almost any source and incorporate them into your design.

The application is included in Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Inventor Professional, AutoCAD®, Autodesk® Simulation, Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow®, and Autodesk® Alias® software.

<b>Create and Deploy Customized Branded Applications for Sales and Engineering</b>
As product lines become more configurable, reducing lead times has become a key business imperative for manufacturers offering engineer-to-order products. Autodesk® Inventor® Engineer-to-Order software (formerly Autodesk® Intent™ software) helps manufacturing companies to automate the order and bid process right at the point of sale by providing easy-to-use tools for capturing business and engineering rules. Inventor Engineer-to-Order offers a flexible development platform for creating custom branded applications, enabling sales and engineering teams to provide faster and more cost-effective delivery of products.

<b>Inventor Engineer-to-Order can help companies to:</b>
- Win more business by accelerating design efficiency and improving quoting accuracy;
- Improve sales channel efficiency with powerful sales automation tools;
- Connect sales and engineering teams by enabling the use of common rules;
- Optimize sales and engineering resources.
