Pros & Cons By Industry
Why Inventor?
Inventor offers tools such as an automatic bill of materials, and integrated data management, which allows companies to integrate business functions into the design process. This saves time and money.
Inventor also uniquely offers automatic drawing updates, and design automation which even further reduces lead time within a company.
Because heavy machinery companies typically deal with a vast number of parts, assemblies, and subassemblies, any time saved during the manufacturing process is incredibly valuable. This is what makes inventor attractive to this type of industry.
Why Inventor?
Inventor has very robust CAM functionality which allows users to generate and verify tool paths and g-code within the software itself, before ever having to turn on a lathe or CNC machine.
Additionally, Inventor's CAM capabilities are integrated with its CAD capabilities all in one single program. This means there is no need to export designs to a 3rd party CAM software in order to generate tool paths for machining
Why Inventor?
Automotive Body In White applications require designing single-thickness sheet metal parts for vehicle body assemblies.
Inventor has excellent sheet metal design and surface modeling capabilities. This allows automotive manufacturers to easily design sheet metal applications for body panels, or structural frame/chassis components.
