Woodwork for Inventor –
Furniture Design Software

Woodwork for Inventor is industry-specific furniture design software designed for woodworkers and fully integrated into Autodesk Inventor. What does it bring to the table that simple Autodesk Inventor can‘t deliver? Although Autodesk Inventor is a very powerful design engine, it doesn‘t provide tools for specific industries like the furniture design industry. We understand the specific needs of woodworkers and which aspects of the regular modeling workflow would take them the most time to do. And we focused on that with Woodwork for Inventor. Our software is built around the skeletal modeling design approach which is ideal for the rapid prototyping nature of panel design.
