3D Printing and Inventor

Hello everyone, I've had some problems and I need some help. I am the design leader on my robotics team, and recently we purchased a new 3D Printer, a CubeX Duo to be exact. Now the problem is when we attempt to 3D print a part that we created in AutoDesk Inventor, the part was WAY too small. Instead of printing 1", it printed roughly 4mm. Assuming that this was a problem with units, we imported the English cad file into Metric, then attempted to print that. It worked in a way, where that instead of being too small, it was scaled up a little (but not nearly as much as it was scaled down before). Which brings me to my question; Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any solutions?
