SPI Ducting for Inventor Advantages

SPI Ducting Inventor supports complex design and unfolding of 3D pipes with Autodesk Inventor. Use for single parts or components of complete assemblies. An easy-to-use interface, precise parameter definitions, automatic assembly design, and the predefined material data editor aids productivity immediately upon installation.

SPI Ducting Inventor enhances basic Inventor functions, providing the complete functionality of the powerful
SPI  SheetMetal product. It also offers a comprehensive library of several pre-defined components, standard parts, transitions and connectors which can easily be customized.
   
  

An appliccation worth to have


With SPI SheetMetal Inventor high sophisticated sheet metal requests will be solved. The template dri­ven precise creation of new parts leads to ready-to-manufacture blanks in seconds. Modifications are done fast and easily. The files can be transferred to NC programs. SPI Ducting Inventor is part of the SPI SheetMetal Inventor solution.
 

Advantage


SPI SheetMetal Inventor's Ducting features supports complex design and unfolding of 3D pipes with the CAD system Autodesk Inventor, - either as single parts or components of an assembly. The application can be used as a very productive tool from the beginning, due to the easy handling, the precise parameter definitions, the automatic assembly design and the predefined material data.  SPI Ducting Inventor is therefore a valuable add-on to the basic Inventor functions.
 

Library


SPI offers a comprehensive library of several pre-defined components: different standard parts, transitions and connectors. If you like to expand the set of ducting templates by self-defined models, you can create template description files for your new models. Every part is prepared to be unfolded without problems because it is pre-connected with material data that are needed for the calculation.

SPI supports creation of arbitrary transitions as well and delivers precise unfoldings of sharp-cornered and filleted sheet metal parts.
 
 

Smooth and easy


Regarding the sheet metal specific technology SPI offers a very user friendly interface: At first you select a category (e.g. Connectors) then you pick one of the special components (e.g. Symmetrical T-Connector) and a dialogue with the parameters of the corresponding shape or connection is displayed.  The easy handling, the precise parameter definitions, the auto­­matic assembly design and the predefined material data, let SPI Ducting Inventor appear as a valuable add-on to the ba­­­­sic Inventor functions and allows a fast return-on-in­vest­ment.
