An IAM file contains a 3D model assembly created by Autodesk Inventor. IAM files are used to design mechanical product prototypes made up of IPT part files. The assembly module of Inventor allows creating animations and rendering them. Autodesk Inventor is a CAD software released in 1999 and still actively developed. The latest version offers durability testing of assemblies.
IAM files fall under the CAD file category originally developed for the Inventor View application. Opening or modifying IAM files is often done in Inventor View. IAM files are most popular in China and with Windows 10 users based on website statistics.
