Autodesk® Inventor® Tooling provides a comprehensive set of automated tools that leverage a digital prototype to quickly create and validate complete mold designs, reducing errors and improving mold performance.

Autodesk Inventor Tooling software includes easy-to-use mold design features that work directly from Inventor 3D models of plastic parts. Full associativity to the Inventor digital model helps ensure that any changes to the model are automatically reflected in the mold design. Inventor guides you through the mold design process and automates a number of complex operations, such as patching openings and runoff/shutoff surface generation. The result is higher quality products and faster time to market.
Powered by Moldflow® plastic flow analysis tools, Inventor can determine material flow rates, ideal gate locations, shrinkage, and process parameters.
Mold analysis allows you to optimize your design and minimise the number of mold iterations, saving time and money.
Autodesk Inventor Tooling software provides an extensive collection of vendor catalogs of standard mold bases and components such as DME, Futaba, HASCO, LKM, Pedrotti, Polimold, Rabourdin, and Strack. You’ll work more efficiently by referencing standard components and predefined mold base assemblies combined with core and cavity elements specific to your plastic part.
When your mold designs are complete, Inventor software uses your validated digital model to automatically generate the related engineering drawings and bills of materials (BOMs). Because the Inventor model is fully associative, any change to the design is automatically updated in the drawings and BOMs.
With its intuitive mold design workflow, Autodesk Inventor Tooling guides you through the mold design process in a way that is natural for the experienced user, while at the same time supportive
for the novice. The built-in mold design wizard provides additional user guidance, further explaining the various steps of the workflow making it easy to follow for even the most inexperienced user.
