Today, in Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, 3D design skill are very much needed, especially for people who involved in product design and engineering field. 3D modelling is used to observe the design from all of angles of view. 3D modelling can represent the object according to its original shape so it will be easier to understand and minimize the risk of misperception.
Inventor is one of Autodesk’s most desirable product. Inventor provides professional 3D mechanical design, documentation, and tools of product simulation. So many features offered by inventor such us product design, collaboration and design automation, modelling, connected data, and simulation and visualization.
For product design, other than to make 3D design, we can do parametric modelling, assembly modelling, drawing creation, etc. Inventor also has another features, that is collaboration and design automation (Shared view collaboration, Work with non-native data, Automated frame design, Design automation), modelling (Sheet metal, Model-based definition, Content center, BIM interoperability, Flexible modeling, Direct modeling, Freeform modeling, Mechanical concept and layout design, Plastic parts design, Component generators and calculators, Tube and pipe design), connected data (Printed circuit board interoperability, Data management), and simulation and visualization (Exploded views and animations, Dynamic simulation, Stress analysis, Visualization and rendering).
Inventor is suitable for both business and educational purposes because it has many advantages and fairly easy to learn for beginner. Since its release, Inventor has always made updates and innovations until now. In 2020, will be release new features Inventor 3D CAD software for mechanical design improves workflows with increased performance, better collaboration, and new professional-grade design tools.Some of these features include design enhancements, Inventor experience, Performance improvements, Frame generator enhancements, Translation and interoperability, and Custumer-driven improvements.
