See how a transition to 3D design using Autodesk Inventor can help you join users in what has become the mainstream design tool in delivering products to market in less time and with fewer errors. With Autodesk Inventor, you can:

• Minimize the need for physical prototypes
• Reduce costly errors that are discovered after the design is sent to manufacturing
• Begin creating models by adding the power of 3D to the design process
• Benefit manufacturing, purchasing, sales and service departments along with engineering
• Integrate your existing 2D DWG designs into a 3D design environment
• Experience a wide range of tools--simplify your transition

Falling behind?
Most companies own and use AutoCAD for 2D design and drafting. As industries attempt to increase productivity with fewer employees, many 2D users are finding that simply using 2D software leaves them lagging behind the competition.

The transition to 3D can be smoother than you think.
Autodesk Inventor reads and writes the same 2D format companies use today, the DWG format. This allows many companies to transition to 3D without abandoning their entrenched company format and makes it easy to reuse and share both AutoCAD DWG™ files and 3D design data with other Autodesk manufacturing applications and their users.
And when you invest in Inventor, you also get the newest copy of AutoCAD, to stay current with your years of existing 2D designs.

Autodesk created the world-class AutoCAD software you use every day, so it makes sense to use Autodesk Inventor when you are ready to make the switch to 3D. And with all of our Tata Technologies resources at your disposal, from our product-specific education courses in a variety of convenient formats to our consulting services to our CAD Geek Center, we’re here to help you transition to a dramatic increase in productivity.
