The Autodesk Inventor software provides professional solutions for 3D mechanical engineering design, the creation of tools and design communication, which make it possible to develop large products cost effectively and faster.
Geared towards three-dimensional mechanical design, it builds, measures and assembles every step, every set-up, every “fit” and every movement of a component, of a machine and of a complex system. Inventor is the ultimate modelling software; it is the software that enables matter to engineer its forms and become a product, moving in an assisted and automated way from theory to practice, from simulation to the production line.
Parametric models, with machining operations, such as holes, chamfers, fillets, etc., go beyond the limits of classical geometrical thinking to a more visually and functionally interesting dimension. Inventor thus becomes the heart of every innovation and every industrial process organisation, dynamically focusing on the material and physical relationships between the parts and the whole.
A cornerstone of the technical design offices of multinational mechanical engineering companies, Inventor is a key success factor for professional firms, small and medium-sized companies operating in highly specialised market niches.
Inventor’s interface makes an endless array of tools immediately operational, with menu setups that can always be customised. This makes for maximum concentration on the object to be created, simulated, moved and observed, to better define its system relationships and to implement the most synergic design communication.
Inventor can manage assemblies, parts and 2D drawings separately, create and publish video animations of product steps, partial or total, operate in synergy with AutoCAD. With the ability to create diverse files for the production process, documentation department, marketing, purchasing department and suppliers, Inventor proves to be more indispensable than ever from the point of view of internal and external company dynamics.
Inventor is the creator of a truly collaborative workflow, without design limitations, and accelerates industrial processes: you can work and share design steps anywhere on the cloud, regardless of which CAD software you use; you have maximum BIM interoperability thanks to metadata and export to the Revit format.
Inventor’s accurate 3D digital prototype validates the shape, fit and function of a design in progress, and minimises the need for prototypes to be tested. This aspect is crucial in speeding up subsequent production steps.
With Inventor, it is possible to automate the creation of advanced geometries of smart components, such as frames, rotary machinery, ducts and piping, electrical cables and wiring. By simulating stress, bending and movement, the design is thus optimised and validated under real conditions, before being put into production, making it possible to verify every peculiar set-up, movement, timeframe.
Inventor includes topology streamlining tools that let you lighten and streamline designs. The shape generator provides an intelligent strategy, removing unnecessary geometry from the model, based on load conditions and target weight requirements for the design itself.
Suitable for the professional wishing to make use of the most powerful design tool, indispensable for all companies working in the component and mechanical engineering industry, Inventor uses advanced automation technologies based on iLogic; the possibility via API to create additional modules allows the user to operate in an environment optimally tailored to design requirements.
Autodesk Inventor is a powerful 3D design software that allows you to model, simulate and communicate your designs effectively and quickly.
The latest version is Inventor 2025 released in March 2024 The updates and improvements introduced in Inventor 3D CAD software simplify design, speed up workflows and streamline and reduce repetitive tasks.
What Inventor licences are available? Administrators can manage three types of licences:
Autodesk Inventor costs EUR 2,385 + VAT per year (licence for 1 user).
The free version of Inventor is a trial version, usable for a maximum of 30 days.
The free version of Inventor for one year is reserved for teachers and students for educational purposes, and can be renewed if the release requirements are met.
To view an Inventor file, you do not need to download the software, but you can open and view the files with Autodesk’s free viewers.
Inventor enables improved product performance through powerful 3D modelling and simulation capabilities. With Inventor you also reduce repetitive tasks: you quickly create customised design configurations and create automation for common tasks.
Shared workflow pushed to the max, highly flexible automation, editing in TrustDWG, precise and detailed mechanical design, functional modelling and animation: all this and more is packed into Inventor.
With Inventor, it is possible to easily integrate AutoCAD and 3D data in a single digital model to create a virtual mock-up of the final product. Inventor makes it possible to benefit from the advantages of 3D product development, by providing an associative link to native DWG files that ensures design accuracy. The use of DWG data with Inventor can help you compete more effectively, serve your customers better and turn out excellent products.
The demand for design data to produce more efficiently is growing. Inventor makes it possible to add fabrication instructions directly to the 3D model, doing away with the need for the 2D design traditionally used by CNC programmers for the project’s tolerances and surface finish.
Directly oriented towards specific application processes that require familiarity with dedicated libraries and applications, the courses organised by QS Infor are structured according to the customer’s needs and objectives, on an individual or group basis, at the customer’s company or at the QS Infor site.
