3DM Import for Inventor

3DM Import for Inventor is a Rhinoceros 3DM file import add-in for Inventor. This add-in gives Inventor the ability to import geometric data from 3DM files.

3DM Import for Inventor reads 3D objects in a Rhino 3D file and creates corresponding 3D objects in Autodesk Inventor. Not only does 3DM Import for Inventor convert NURBS surfaces and solids in 3DM files to surfaces and solids in Inventor, but it also reads polygon mesh data stored in 3DM files and imports it into Inventor. A polygon mesh in a Rhino 3DM file is comprised of a set of triangular and/or quad faces. 3DM Import for Inventor creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle/quad and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DM Import for Inventor will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

3DM Import for Inventor is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Inventor and adds a new ribbon bar to the Inventor user interface called "Add-Ins" containing the newly added commands..
