Automation that converts the R&D team's Inventor parts and assemblies to STEP without an Inventor licence, and produces a part inventory, previews and technical drawings.

Built for an industrial company. For confidentiality, the company name, logo, product/part codes and internal data are not shared; images are cropped accordingly.
The need
Design files were locked to a single licensed program; opening, sharing or reusing them needed that program every time.
The solution
- Parts and assemblies are converted to an open format (STEP) automatically.
- Conversion accuracy is measured by volume comparison.
- A visual inventory page for every part in the folder.
- Technical drawing and preview outputs.
