Transforming Inventor Models into Blender: A Step-by-Step Guide

Do you want to explore how to seamlessly convert 3D inventor models into Blender? In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process, starting from exporting the file in Inventor to importing it into Blender. Let's dive in!

Exporting the Inventor Model

To begin, follow these simple steps to export your 3D model from Inventor:

  1. Stop Animation: Make sure to stop any ongoing animations in the model.

  2. Drawing a Part: Start by drawing a simple part, such as a rectangle, from the origin point. Ensure there is no circle in the center point of the shape.

  3. Finalizing the Design: Once you have completed drawing the part, click on the 'Finish' button.

  4. Converting to 3D: Utilize the 'Equal Tools' to convert the 2D design into a 3D model. You can adjust the shape by selecting and moving different points.

  5. Saving the File: To prepare the model for Blender, go to the 'File' menu and select 'Export.' Choose the desired format – in this case, we recommend selecting the .spf file format. Name your file, for instance, 'Infinity,' and click 'Save.'

Importing into Blender

Now, let's import the exported model into Blender:

  1. Launch Blender: Open your Blender software and navigate to the 'File' menu.

  2. Select Import: Click on 'Import' and choose the 'HDL Extension' option.

  3. Locate Your File: Search for the saved .spf file from your Inventor export.

  4. Import the Model: Select the file and click 'Import' to bring the 3D model into Blender. The model should automatically attach itself within the Blender workspace.
