For plastic part designers, the 2012 Professional release included tools. It automated the complex process of creating core/cavity splits, adding runners, gates, and cooling channels. It even integrated with Moldflow (Autodesk’s dedicated plastic injection simulation) to predict fill patterns and sink marks. autodesk Inventor professional 2012
The 2012 release refined the "Sculpt" environment, allowing users to create complex, free-form surfaces that were previously impossible without specialized surfacing software. Key improvements included: Notably, Inventor 2012 was the last version to
