The Autodesk® Inventor® family of software constitutes the foundation for Digital Prototyping. Using Inventor, manufacturers can produce an accurate 3D model to validate the form, fit, and function of a design before the product is physically built, enabling them to use a digital prototype to optimize and validate all of their ideas before creating the final product. The result? Fewer errors and physical prototypes.
