How can you use Inventor Fusion?

Inventor + Inventor Fusion

Autodesk Inventor Fusion expands the 3D conceptual design capabilities of Inventor and sets a new standard for 3D modeling ease of use.

Unites Direct and Parametric Workflows Sets new standards for 3D modeling Ease of

Use Rapid Design Changes without Limitations Aids in Design exploration

AutoCAD + Inventor Fusion

Autodesk Inventor Fusion expands the 3D conceptual design capabilities of AutoCAD and sets a new standard for 3D modeling ease of use.  It enables you to intelligently edit and validate 3D models from almost any source, helping you experience the benefits of 3D in the native DWG format. Experience the benefits of 3D without the risk Stay DWG while adopting 3D to remain

competitive Keep what learn (able to move to DP, Inv, PDS,

FDS, BDS) Concept Exploration

Alias Design/Automotive + Inventor Fusion

Inventor Fusion expands the capabilities of Alias making it easy validate, heal, edit and detail your design to ensure your model is CAD ready.

Feature model creation from wires Quick concept model detailing Feed 3D printing

Algor & Moldflow + Inventor Fusion

Inventor Fusion expands the capabilities of Algor/Moldflow making it easy to edit and simplify 3D design data no matter the source to improve simulations.
