3DM Export for Inventor is a Rhinoceros (.3dm) file export add-in for Inventor. This add-in gives Inventor the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a Inventor part or assembly document to 3D polygon meshes in a 3DM file.

3DM Export for Inventor tessellates solid bodies in a Inventor part or assembly into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a 3DM file as mesh objects. The 3DM file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.

3DM Export 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.

3DM Export for Inventor is designed to work with the following versions of Inventor:

• Inventor 2012 (32 Bit & 64 Bit)

IMPORTANT! Purchasing a Subscription is highly recommended since it the most cost effective way of keeping your software up to date. Moreover, Subscription entitles you to get a second free perpetual license for your laptop, among many other benefits. For details please read the SYCODE License and Subscription Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Our licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically “Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter”. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

The 3DM File Format

The 3DM (3D Model) file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the NURBS modeling software from Robert McNeel & Associates. The OpenNURBS Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000, with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between applications via the 3DM file format. TerrainCAD, our terrain generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format as its native file format.
