Free Inventor Fusion for AutoCAD users
Thursday 2 December 2010 8:24 AM
Inventor Fusion is the new Direct Modeling solution from Autodesk. It's an easy to use alternative to the full Inventor package with Autodesk looking to take on the likes of SpaceClaim and Alibre.
Buzz Kross, who is head of the Autodesk Manufacturing Division recently announced that Inventor Fusion will be shipped along with AutoCAD for free. He goes on to say 'I believe this is an excellent move. This puts powerful and easy to use 3D capability right into the hands of 2D AutoCAD users. They do not need to look anywhere else for 3D. I don’t believe the purpose of Inventor Fusion is to make people switch from SolidWorks or Solid Edge. Rather it will be more effective as a deterrent for preventing AutoCAD users from looking to other CAD vendors for solutions to adopt 3D in their work flow'.
It seems Autodesk are positioning Inventor Fusion as a cheap easy to use 3D CAD system that anyone can pick up and use. They have a keen interest in going after the D.I.Y market and feel Inventor Fusion is the perfect way in.
