What is Autodesk Inventor Professional?

Autodesk Inventor Professional is a 3D mechanical design software package that combines the proven power of Autodesk Inventor® Series with an added collection of specialized tools for electromechanical engineers and designers. With this single, integrated software that includes the functionality of Autodesk Inventor®, AutoCAD® Mechanical, Autodesk® Mechanical Desktop®, and added application components, mechanical and electromechanical engineers can design, validate, and document all aspects of a machine and increase productivity.

Autodesk Inventor Professional helps you quickly develop a complete 3D model of your product so you can minimize design errors and reduce costs. By using a virtual 3D model instead of a physical prototype you can ensure all parts, including tubing, piping, printed circuit boards, wire harnesses, and cables, fit together. This helps reduce time to market and increase product quality. And unlike competitive offerings, Autodesk Inventor Professional provides the full functionality you need in one simple-to-deploy application that offers tremendous value at a reasonable price.

Is Autodesk Inventor Professional right for you?

As a companion product to Autodesk Inventor Series, the additional functionality of Autodesk Inventor Professional targets specialized design tasks that are not performed daily by all members of the design team, but rather by a subset. While the number of users will not be as high as with Autodesk Inventor Series, the return on investment for functions such as tube and pipe or cable and harness is very high.

The current methods for designing these components are excessively manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. By automating these critical product development tasks and enabling use of common design data between teams responsible for different system components, Autodesk Inventor Professional helps reduce design errors, decrease your design cycle time, and increase productivity.

Eliminate the effort and expense of configuring specialized solutions to complete your machine design process. Quick to implement and easy to deploy, Autodesk Inventor Professional offers the greatest breadth of 3D mechanical design functionality for the best possible value
