Third-party support has been particularly strong for Autodesk Inventor software - the foundation for digital prototyping.
With its DWG TrueConnect capability, Inventor is suitable for companies that want to add the power of 3D to existing 2D processes and incorporate analysis and simulation of real world performance into their workflow.
More than 75 vendors have participated in the Autodesk Inventor Certified Application Programme, with more applying for certification every day.
These vendors' products have demonstrated the highest level of interoperability with Autodesk Inventor software and adhere to Autodesk-supplied guidelines, so that customers can get the best working combination of products to meet their needs.
Autodesk Inventor Certified partners deliver software and services in a variety of areas, including among others: analysis and simulation; mould making; NC manufacturing; production engineering; sheet metal; and tool and die.
TechniCon Systems, an Autodesk Inventor Certified partner, develops web-based product catalogue and configuration software that allows manufacturers to market and sell complex products online.
Its software is used by manufacturers concerned with mass customisation across a wide spectrum of industries, including industrial components, electronics, transportation, lighting and contract furniture.
"The Autodesk Developer Network allows us to develop software that enables Inventor users to extend their CAD footprint beyond engineering and into the product sales, marketing and IT domains", said Tony Mirante, President of TechniCon.
"Using Inventor to power online product configuration and digital prototyping makes it easier for manufacturers to sell complex products and allows component manufacturers to get their products specified earlier in their customer's design process".
