Mastercam X has a direct add-in for Autodesk Inventor, a new way to boost productivity. The Mastercam and Autodesk Inventor integration offers users a way to easily work between the two products and stay ahead of their competition.' Both companies are working together to provide customers with the best in CAD and CAM software. 'The flow from design to manufacture becomes easier for both Inventor and Mastercam customers, where the designer can be assured that the part designed in Inventor is precisely the part that is machined with Mastercam. Many Mastercam customers receive Inventor files, so both communities can be assured of the seamless integration between our two products,' says Gary Hargreaves, Director of Business Development for CNC Software.
