Our team has over the past few years used Solid Works as its design platform in regards to CAD models of robot components. This year, we're investigating Autodesk Inventor as a possible software to use. There are a few options that we need to weigh before even considering switching over at all:
- Ease of design/user interface.
- One of our sponsors who aids in manufacturing custom parts for us uses Solid Works to design/manufacture such parts.
- Mentors who assist in the computer design process only know how to use Solid Works. Though it seems as if Solid Works and Inventor are quite similar...
We'll be attending a training session later this week for the Inventor software, hopefully making some of these issues clearer.
Any thoughts? What has been people's experience with either piece of software and are they even as comparable as they appear?
The world has never seen a group of people who have taken such interest and delight in being rickrolled. - StevenB [more]
