Inventor uses ShapeManager, Autodesk's proprietary geometric modeling kernel. The software can be licensed as a subscription or through pre-paid Flex Tokens (daily use, consumption-based). Autodesk Inventor Professional is also a part of a collection license Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection .
Fusion was introduced by Autodesk on 24 September 2013. [7] It incorporated many features from Inventor Fusion, which it replaced. [8] In 2009, the tech demo Inventor Fusion was released. In the summer of 2013, Fusion 360 was publicly announced as a cloud-enabled version of the original. [9]
A man using AutoCAD 2.6 to digitize a drawing of a school building. AutoCAD was derived from a program that began in 1977, and then released in 1979 [5] named Interact CAD, [6] [7] [8] also referred to in early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to Autodesk's (then Marinchip Software Partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder Michael Riddle.
Autodesk Vault is a data management tool integrated with Autodesk Inventor Series, Autodesk Inventor Professional, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Revit and Civil 3D products. It helps design teams track work in progress and maintain version control in multi-user environments.
A 2D CAD drawing A 3D CAD model. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
Between the mid-1940s and 1950s, various developments were made in computer software.Some of these developments include servo-motors controlled by generated pulse (1949), a digital computer with built-in operations to automatically coordinate transforms to compute radar related vectors (1951), and the graphic mathematical process of forming a shape with a digital machine tool (1952).
Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser. [1] Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.
SolidWorks Corporation was established in December 1993 by MIT graduate Jon Hirschtick, who used funds from his time with the MIT Blackjack Team to start the company. [9] [10] Hirschtick's aim was to develop a user-friendly, cost-effective 3D CAD software for the Windows desktop.
