Turn your Inventor files into spatial solutions, in minutes, with JigSpace

Discover how Jigs integrate Autodesk Inventor CAD files into powerful spatial solutions for sales, training, and communication.

How JigSpace works

Autodesk Inventor is CAD software used by engineers for mechanical design, simulation, and product prototyping. JigSpace easily converts your Inventor files into interactive 3D presentations and immersive augmented reality experiences. We call them 'Jigs'. Jigs make the hard to explain, hard to forget. From launching a new product at a trade show or training your team on a new assembly process.

Frequently asked questions about using Inventor files in 3D presentations and augmented reality

What data is imported into JigSpace from my Inventor files?

When you integrate your Inventor files with JigSpace we import and convert the parametric data to meshes which are appropriate for real-time rendering, as well as import mesh size and scale properties, part names, RGB colors, mesh origin or pivot points and the assembly hierarchy. Learn more about data imported from 3D models here.

What file formats are supported that can be exported from Inventor?

JigSpace supports the standard STEP neutral formats for parametric CAD, as well as FBX, USDZ, OBJ, and STL files. Due to its reliability for data interchange and optimization in parametric files, we recommend exporting assemblies to STEP file wherever possible.

How safe is my Inventor CAD data when I import it to JigSpace?

JigSpace prioritizes data security with enterprise-grade measures, SOC 2 compliance, and features like role-based access controls and secure sharing, ensuring intellectual property contained in your Inventor files are protected. Learn more about JigSpace security features.

Can I save my Inventor files in the JigSpace library for my team to use?

Yes! You can save your CAD files from Inventor to your own team object library in JigSpace to re-use across multiple projects, save time, and ensure your team uses the right assets every time.

Do you have any guides to simplifying or optimizing Inventor files before importing them into JigSpace?

You can follow this exporting guide for Autodesk Inventor users to reduce the number of objects, mesh size, and triangle count of models in their Jigs.
