Autodesk Inventor Professional is a powerful, flexible 3D CAD solution designed to help engineers and designers create digital prototypes, simulate mechanical behavior, and produce manufacturing documentation.
With Autodesk Inventor Professional, you can transform conceptual sketches into production-ready models.
Autodesk Inventor Professional supports parametric modeling, assembly design, and drawing automation, making it an essential tool for mechanical engineers, product designers, and manufacturing specialists.

Autodesk Inventor Professional combines the simplicity of direct editing with the power of parametric control. Unlike basic CAD tools, Autodesk Inventor Professional offers deep customization: iLogic rules, design accelerators, and frame generator.
Autodesk Inventor Professional works seamlessly with your existing PLM systems and provides real-time collaboration across distributed teams.
Whether you design individual parts or complex machinery, Autodesk Inventor Professional adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.
Autodesk Inventor Professional respects your intellectual property – all design data stays under your control with optional encryption.
With Autodesk Inventor Professional, you gain accuracy, reduce physical prototypes, and accelerate time-to-market.
