New products compatible with Autodesk Inventor 2011

Jim Quanci, the director of the Autodesk Developer Network, states: "ADN partners are an important part of Autodesk's success and we are very committed to providing them with the support they need, as well as access to millions of potential customers and sales partners around the world to ensure that they grow their business as they help our joint customers gain a competitive edge. Our ADN partners developing companion products for Autodesk Inventor 2011 provide manufacturing customers worldwide with customisable solutions that allow them to maximise their digital prototyping productivity and efficiency."

Autodesk says that digital prototyping with Autodesk Inventor software gives manufacturers the ability to digitally design, visualise and simulate how a product will work under 'real world' conditions before it is built. Digital prototyping reduces the reliance on physical prototypes, which helps reduce cost and speed time to market in highly competitive industries.
