Autodesk Inventor 2010 Plastic Part Design

[SuperRobertmatrix]

hey we need some good tutorials related to this topic... humm about catia and solid works .... the price of those is overwhelming!!! unless you are in NASA... besides inventor product design suit rules!! hummm & yes the software depends on the application, as far as I see, the best way to go is to start the design in autocad then take it to inventor, alias, 3dmax or any other I may forget....

"Mold flow analysis capability" Now that's impressive.

That's why I became a Mechanical Engineer.

The software really depends on the application. There is no best. They all have pro/con. People judge before knowing the other softwares' capabilities.

SolidWorks suck comparing to Inventor.

inventor and rhino. best combination.

[happygamestvfun1]

Whast the best CAD?

[suharinos]

Ya, SolidWorks is pretty decent for solid 3D modeling and also for molded parts, extremely easy to use and comes with very handy user interface, but pretty terrible what comes to complex surface modeling. I tried Rhino, but it's better for freeforming and illustrating than technical modeling.

i prefer solidworks to inventor

we have this at school but its the professional version, were deseigning CO2 powered planes :)

I am a mechanical engineering this program looks perfect for make plastic mold. This version can make aluminium mold?

[Silverboarding]

Thanks sr.! i will test the program

How can you be a mechanical engineer and NOT know about Inventor?

[therieri]

Excellent surface modeling, nice shape.

[etbitmydogucf]

I like the upgraded interface. It's very similar to solidworks. Does Pro/E have multibody parts?
