VTK Export for Inventor is a Visualization Toolkit (.vtk) file export add-in for Inventor®. This add-in gives Inventor the ability to export geometric data from Inventor to ASCII and Binary VTK files.

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

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