Why choose Woodwork for Inventor?

Woodwork for Inventor adds to your Autodesk Inventor software

Although Autodesk Inventor is a very powerful design engine, it doesn‘t provide tools for specific industries like the furniture design industry.

The Woodwork for Inventor team understands the specific needs of woodworkers and which aspects of the regular modeling workflow takes the most time to do. So they focused on those issues to offer you a great software solution.

Woodwork for Inventor is built around the skeletal modeling design approach which is ideal for the rapid prototyping nature of panel design.

iBox technology lifts Woodwork for Autodesk Inventor to the next level.

It is built around the use of pre-defined assemblies with woodworking functionality built into them. iBox allows to stretch, to shrink and it‘s all based according to the design conditions that you‘ve set. And user can author or publish their standard product into the iBox technology. Moreover, users can create their own iBox library which will be major advantage.

Woodwork for Inventor provides highly flexible wood material management

Woodwork for Inventor is highly flexible in wood material management. It allows you to work with various material profiles and cover material types.

You will also find that Woodwork for Inventor covers:

Unified hardware items library with automated component placement, automatic sculpt and subtraction for hole fittings and connection joints. Automatic generation of Furniture design industry-tailored BOM (Bill of Materials);
Automatic drawings generation;
CNC programs; and much more.

It is used by the world’s most forward-thinking and prestigious designers. Versatility and variety of industries that Woodwork for Inventor is used in are impressive – Italian boutique furniture designers, residential kitchens designers, commercial shopfront fitters.
