“Autodesk Inventor software users can import part files and manufacture them quickly using Mastercam X6” says Carl White, director of digital design product management at Autodesk. IAM) for design purposes and toolpath generation. Mastercam X6 is able to read in native Inventor files (.IPT and.

Free to the Mastercam and Autodesk communities, Mastercam Direct enables users to open a model in Mastercam while in an Inventor session, and then update toolpaths to reflect changes to the model. Mastercam X6 has a direct add-in for Autodesk Inventor, a great way to boost productivity. The Mastercam and Autodesk Inventor integration offers users a way to easily work between the two products and stay ahead of their competition.”

Both companies are working together to provide customers with the best in CAD and CAM software. “The flow from design to manufacture becomes easier for both Inventor and Mastercam customers, where the designer can be assured that the part designed in Inventor is precisely the part that is machined with Mastercam. Many Mastercam customers receive Inventor files, so both communities can be assured of the seamless integration between our two products,” says Gary Hargreaves, director of business development for CNC Software. “We are very happy to be certified for Autodesk Inventor 2013. Certification is given only after the product has been tested and approved.

To be certified, the product must meet certain guidelines and demonstrate a high level of quality as well as compatibility with Autodesk Inventor software. Digital Prototyping with Autodesk Inventor software gives manufacturers the ability to digitally design, visualize, and simulate how a product will work under real world conditions before it is built, which helps reduce cost and increase efficiency. Officials from CNC Software, developer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, announce certification of Mastercam X6 CAD/CAM Software for Autodesk Inventor 2013 3D mechanical design software under the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program.
