Plastic Part design for Inventor hits the Labs

By al dean - August 16, 2008

in Tech

Autodesk just launched the Plastic Features Technology Preview on Autodesk Labs which adds a load of plastic part design tools for Inventor, so thin wall parts are easier to build and there's a bunch of features such as grills, rests, bosses, snaps, lips, grooves and fillets. Autodesk has been working on this technology for the last couple of years, and even drafted some of the guys from ImpactXoft to work on some clever bits to better handle thin wall parts. Is anyone using Inventor for industrial design I wonder and does the AliasStudio connection make it more interesting if you don't?
