threadModeler

ThreadModeler automates the generation of modeled threads based on the Autodesk® Inventor® thread feature.

Free

The threadModeler tool has been developed to allow Autodesk® Inventor® users to generate a realistic modeled equivalent thread based on an existing Inventor thread feature.

Users are able to select an existing thread feature in the model, which the threadModeler then converts to a realistic 3D modeled thread based on the underlying thread feature properties.

Modeled threads are generated saving a lot of time and effort for the user when compared with a manual approach, bringing a higher degree of realism to your models.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
