Autodesk for easy 2D and 3D designing
Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Inventor
We develop 3D printings and often need engineering software that can easily create 3D images. The view cube in the upper right-hand corner is very easy to reorient the view in many ways. The measure tool is very useful and easy to use. It is easy to begin and orient a sketch, making it simple and intuitive. The hole tool is nice and easy to use, good GUI. It is easy enough to use and allows for our internal department to work on projects without outsourcing.
Pros
- You can make designs (CAD) and you can also manufacture them (CAM) and do not need an interface like Solidworks to recognize it in a CNC.
- Inventor is very easy to use to create realistic, solid designs.
- The software allows you to design and see where problems are in real-time.
Cons
- Install is tedious to reroute at times.
- Inability to select a midpoint of a sketch.
- Software requires a powerful computer.
- Autodesk can be offered free to use for students, which is great for anyone wanting to learn.
- Autodesk has a fairly hefty subscription option or monthly, but $2,000 a year is not a bad investment if you are able to make a fairly large profit on one job.
- Autodesk also has a 3-year plan at $5360.00, which is only $148.89. This will save time and money rather than outsourcing.
- AutoCAD mobile (formerly AutoCAD 360)
