CAD/CAM SOFTWARE CERTIFIED FOR USE WITH AUTODESK INVENTOR 2009

Mastercam offers its X2 CAD/CAM Software, which has been certified for Autodesk Inventor 2009 software by the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program. To be certified, the product must meet certain guidelines and demonstrate a high level of quality as well as compatibility with Autodesk Inventor. Certification is given only after the product has been tested and approved.

Mastercam X2 has a direct add-in for Autodesk Inventor, a way to boost productivity. Free to the Mastercam and Autodesk communities, Mastercam Direct enables users to open a model in Mastercam while in an Inventor session, and then update toolpaths to reflect changes to the model. Mastercam X2 is able to read in native Inventor files for design purposes and toolpath generation. "Autodesk Inventor software users can import part files and manufacture them quickly using Mastercam X2 MR2" says Hilde Sevens, CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) senior product line manager, Manufacturing Solutions at Autodesk. "Having partners, such as Mastercam in the Autodesk Certified Application Program assures users that the same standards of product quality we want for Autodesk Inventor are being extended to the Mastercam suite of solutions."
