AutoCAD Inventor
Tooling Suite 2011
AutoCAD Inventor Tooling Suite streamlines the design of plastic injection molds by including easy-to-use mold design features that work directly from Inventor 3D models of plastic parts.
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.
Inventor guides you through the mold design process and automates a number of complex operations, such as patching openings and runoff/shutoff surface generation.
Simulate and optimize your mold design before machining with Moldflow plastic flow analysis tools. Use them to determine material flow rates, suggest ideal gate locations, assess shrinkage, and establish process parameters. Mold analysis allows you to optimize your design and minimize the number of mold iterations, saving time and mone.
Leverage standard mold base components. Autodesk Inventor Mold Design software provides an extensive collection of vendor catalogs of standard mold bases and components so you won’t have to spend time modeling them.
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).
Autodesk Inventor Tooling
- Works directly from the digital prototype
- fully associative
- facilitates collaboration between design and tooling engineering
- Offers the user an intuitive mold design workflow
- Automates various mold design tasks, such as:
- hole patching
- run-off surface creation
- core/cavity generation
- Includes integrated Moldflow analysis functionality
- suggested gate locations
- flow time
- shrinkage
- molding process parameters
- Provides extensive libraries of materials, mold bases and mold base components
- Automates the generation of engineering drawings of mold design
- Are your competitors getting to market before you?
- Are you being asked to complete more designs more quickly with fewer resources?
- Are you discovering product flaws after the product has gone to market?
- Are you using the best technology for the job?
Autodesk Inventor is available in the following suites to best fit your
specific needs:
Inventor Takes You Beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping
The Inventor model is an accurate digital prototype that enables you to:
Design - integrate all design data into a single digital model
Visualize - create a virtual representation of the final product
Simulate – digitally validate the real-world performance of your product

Autodesk Inventor 2011 System Requirements
For general part and assembly design (typically fewer than 1,000 parts):
- Microsoft® Windows Vista® (SP1) (32-bit or 64-bit) Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate Operating System(1,2,3)
or
- Windows® XP Professional (SP2 and SP3) or Professional x64 Edition (SP2) Operating System(1,2,3)
- Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, 2 GHz or faster, Intel® Xeon™, Intel® Core™, AMD Athlon™ 64, AMD Opteron™, or later(4)
- 2 GB RAM minimum(5)
- Direct3D10, Direct3D 9 or OpenGL capable graphics card(6,7)
- DVD-ROM drive(8)
- Microsoft Mouse compliant pointing device
- 1280 x 1024 or higher screen resolution
- Internet connection for web downloads and Subscription-aware access
- Adobe® Flash® Player 10(9)
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 through 7.0
- Microsoft Excel 2003 through 2007 for iComponents, thread customization, and spreadsheet-driven designs
For complex models and large assemblies (typically more than 1,000 parts), Autodesk recommends a system meeting the following specifications:

Notes
(1) For installations of Inventor 2011 with local content libraries and/or Autodesk Vault 2011 access. Please see the Autodesk Data Management system requirements for remote server installations for sharing content libraries and/or Vault data between multiple-users.
(2) Inventor 2011 and AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 applications are each provided both as 32-bit applications and as 64-bit applications for installation and use on the corresponding operating system only. Autodesk Vault Explorer 2011 is a 32-bit application for installation and use on either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. (Both) The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these applications are all provided together on the installation media.
(3) Autodesk Inventor/AutoCAD Mechanical design applications and Autodesk Vault must all be the same language on a given computer. English versions of these applications will run on any language operating system. Versions of these applications in other languages will run on operating systems of that same language.
(4) Autodesk Inventor 2011 has been optimized to take advantage of the SSE2 extended instruction sets supported on Pentium 4, AMD Athlon 64, and AMD Opteron processors. Inventor 2011 will not install on computers that do not support SSE2. Several utilities are available on the Internet that report CPUID, including supported instructions sets.
(5) Autodesk recommends settings that allow Microsoft Windows to manage virtual memory, as needed. There should always be at least twice as much free hard disk space as system memory (RAM).
(6) Please refer to the Autodesk published graphics card information.
(7) OpenGL graphics hardware acceleration is available only in legacy feature support mode by Microsoft for Windows XP Professional only. Direct 3D is not recommended for use with Windows XP 32-bit with the 3GB memory switch on.
(8) Inventor 2011 is available only on DVD media (or electronic download in some situations). CD media is no longer available. DVD-ROM drive is not required if installing using electronic download. However to accommodate the installation files, you will need 9 GB of hard disk space and an additional 16 GB of space for temporary files created during the installation.
(9) The multimedia learning components of the Inventor Help system require that you have Adobe Flash Player 10 installed. If it's not already installed, download it from the Adobe website.
