Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Inventor is being used at GK to model custom capital equipment used in the mining, recycling, and foundry industries. There are many design considerations at play with the great size of the equipment we make, so having it modeled makes a huge difference. Also, over the 2D jobs of the past, many replacements are modeled to help with fit and finish during the remake.
  • Finding interference
  • Sheet metal design
  • iLogic
  • It does take a powerful PC to take full advantage of the software.
  • Inventor integrates well into our ERP.
  • When used with the rest of the Productivity suite, it secures your designs.
In my opinion, Autodesk Inventor is easier to set up and use. It also has iLogic that has added many more design options over what I have been able to accomplish in SOLIDWORKS.
There is a huge forum to get answers and Autodesk chimes in with input. There are also many Autodesk supported trainings you can find in local areas to get training on the new versions of the software or to increase your knowledge of the software.
