the FEED SCROLL GENERATOR addin for AUTODESK inventor - v4 now released!

Good news! The Feed Scroll Generator app V4 is now a dockable window and will match your Inventor Light Theme or Dark Theme.

Also, every form input now has a pop-up help image and text to make shaft creation as simple as possible. Check out the help file below for what else is new.

Enjoy! And please let us know any suggestions for the next update of the app.

Software is amazing and definitely a game changer. Everything loaded perfectly and I have been doing some tests with the software, I am very impressed with its capabilities and its very simple to use.

So what does the app do? It allows automatic creation of smoothly surfaced bottle feed screw geometry, to your desired tolerance.

V4 of the app has now been released, with an overhauled user interface.

V3 added dramatic performance and accuracy improvements, particularly for 'single surface' shafts (see image on right below). Production-ready geometry is now created in 1-3 minutes for simple shafts like the image below, and 5-10 minutes typically for more complex shafts.

Many CAM applications will prefer a single continuous surface, for much faster processing, but the option to create a shaft with multiple surfaces is still available, and can be useful for very complex designs that Inventor would struggle to create a single surface for.

These capabilities are now included in the app:

Variable pitch for bottles
Bottle rotation (clockwise and anti-clockwise)
Variable distance of bottle from shaft center (core taper)
Forward or reverse shaft rotation
Sketch any desired bottle profile using Inventor sketch tools
Model a 'real' bottle shape, with a variable profile. (revolved bottle profiles can be used)
One click 'create'
Quick geometry preview option
Simulation player, accuracy checking and export of bottle position data
Choose between a single continuous surface or a variable number of surfaces for the shaft.

We're not aware of any other way to create this level of complex bottle feed geometry inside Inventor. Want to take your business to the next level?

We appreciate the software is user friendly and creative, and backed by awesome customer service. Our business is growing in a new direction with timely support and new updates. With this add-in, we are faster and more accurate in providing a high quality solution on time to our customers.
