Introduction

This section will help you create a basic project in RoboDK for robot simulation and offline programming. In this example a KUKA robot is simulated and programmed for a robot sanding or polishing application using Inventor and RoboDK. You will learn how to generate a real robot path on a curved surface by creating a 3D sketch in Inventor and importing it to RoboDK.

With the RoboDK plug-in for Autodesk Inventor you can easily load 3D models created in Inventor to RoboDK. This plug-in allows you to program more than 50 different robot manufacturers and 500 robots directly from Inventor.

The RoboDK Add-In for Autodesk Inventor works with Inventor 2018 and later. The RoboDK Inventor Add-In is free if you already have a RoboDK license.
