MecSoft Receives Autodesk Inventor Certification

By DE Editors

MecSoft Corporation’s VisualXPORT is certified for use with Autodesk Inventor 2011 and 2012 mechanical design and engineering software under the Inventor Certified Applications Program.

“The certification of VisualXPORT gives Autodesk Inventor software users access to a family of CAM products that will help enhance their manufacturing processes,” says Carl White, director of digital design product management at Autodesk. “Job shops and custom manufacturers that use Autodesk Inventor look forward to a seamless connection to VisualMILL through VisualXPORT.”

Autodesk Inventor is the foundation of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping. It produces an accurate 3D model that enables users to validate the form, fit and function of a design before physically building it. With Autodesk Inventor, users can safely integrate AutoCAD and 3D data into a single digital model to create a digital prototype of the final product, reducing the number of physical prototypes.

VisualXPORT for Inventor is a direct, in-window plug-in for Autodesk’s Inventor 3D mechanical design software, allowing users to transfer Inventor geometry directly to VisualMILL without having to go through a neutral format such as STEP or IGES. With VisualXPORT for Inventor, users can export: 2D & 3D Sketches (curves), Solids, and Surface data from Inventor, according to the company. It is compatible with Autodesk Inventor 2011 and 2012, 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
