Autodesk Extends Inventor LT Technology Preview
April 8, 2008, 04:39 AM Garin Gardiner
This might be old news to some since it officially was announced a few weeks ago (I am just a little slow) but great news none the less. Over the last year, Inventor LT (Technology Preview) has became very successful in enabling manufactures to create, share and edit 3D parts from various CAD systems. Inventor LT uses the same file formats as Inventor and Inventor Professional (IPT, DWG & IDW) which allows users to easily share data.

Perhaps even better news is that there will be an updated version available this spring based on Inventor 2009. If you are interested in learning more about Inventor LT head on over to labs.autodesk.com and select the Inventor LT link. You can also use the some of the other labs tools with Inventor LT such as the Translator Add-ins, Feature Recognition and 2D to 3D tool.
For those of you outside the US, Inventor LT will also be available in Canada, Australia and New Zeland. There are additional plans to release Inventor LT to other select contries in 2008.
We would love to hear how you are using this tool so feel free to add any comments.
