02 / Close to the way you work

From model to insight.
Without losing the thread.

Vectorian brings the setup, the cases and the results into one connected workflow.

01 /

Work with your model

Define loads and supports using references from your Inventor model. Keep the engineering context in view.

02 /

Explore the cases

Organise calculation cases, compare support reactions, and see which case drives each result.

03 /

Make results readable

Review forces and moments in a shared coordinate frame, with clear result states and tabular summaries.

03 / For independent engineers & teams

Engineering is a team effort.
Buying tools should fit.

From a single workstation to a purchasing department, we’re planning ways to buy that reflect how engineering organisations work.

Purchasing information
01

Subscriptions

Monthly and annual options are planned. Pricing will be shared before launch.

02

Company purchasing

Quotation, purchase order and invoice requirements are part of our launch planning.

Sales are not open yet. Final payment methods and terms will be confirmed at launch.

04 / The thinking behind CADBuds

Small tools.
A useful difference.

Great engineering involves a lot of everyday tasks. CADBuds exists to make those tasks easier to handle, with focused tools that work alongside the CAD software you already use.

We’re developing CADBuds in Norway, starting with Vectorian for Autodesk Inventor. More plugins can follow as the project grows.

Built with an engineer’s workflow in mind.
A few things to know

Before we
get started.

What is CADBuds?

CADBuds is a family of practical CAD plugins in development. Our first product, Vectorian, focuses on loads and support reactions within Autodesk Inventor.

Can I download Vectorian today?

A public release is not available yet. The downloads page will list the installer, supported Inventor versions and evaluation terms when the release is ready.

Will you offer subscriptions?

Yes. We plan to offer monthly and annual subscriptions. Prices, seat options and licence terms will be published before sales open.

What about company purchasing?

We are preparing a purchasing path for organisations that need a quotation, a purchase order reference or payment by invoice. Payment methods and credit terms will be confirmed before launch.

Is this an Autodesk product?

No. CADBuds is an independent project. Vectorian is being developed to work with Autodesk Inventor.
