Data Management and Communication
Inventor enables the ecient and secure exchange of design
data to support collaboration between dierent engineering
contributors, including industrial design, product design, and
manufacturing.
Autodesk Vault Integration
Autodesk
®
Vault data management software is a
centralized application for workgroups that securely
stores and manages work-in-progress design data
and related documents. Use it to maximize return
on your company’s investment in design data by
driving design reuse.
Autodesk Productstream
Help ensure that your company’s designs are
complete, accurate, approved, and released to
manufacturing in a timely and eective manner.
Autodesk
®
Productstream
®
software (sold
separately) automates the release management
process by managing engineering changes and
BOMs while the engineering department maintains
control of the design data.
Autodesk Inventor Studio
Improve communication with customers and
other decision makers by creating high-quality
photorealistic renderings and animations in the
Inventor design environment. Autodesk
®
Inventor™
Studio software gives design engineers direct
access to this specialized and typically expensive
functionality. Mirror and turntable animation tools
and a streamlined user interface reduce the time
required to set up and create cyclic animation
sequences.
This capability allows
design workgroups to
manage and track all
the design components
of a digital prototype,
helping designers reuse
crucial design data, man-
age BOMS, and promote
earlier collaboration with
manufacturing teams and
clients.
Through a comprehensive
suite of native translators,
Inventor provides the
interoperability that en-
ables companies to take
on projects in which part
of the D data originates
from other CAD systems
and satisfy customer
requests for D models in
other native formats.
