This question is primarily addressed to equipment manufacturers/suppliers.
But in short:
- Laser cutters read dxf files. This means that you can prepare the design in Inventor, export it to dxf format, and then upload the file to the cutter.
However, this will not free you from operating the cutter itself. You will have to position the contour on the sheet, select parameters, etc.
Alternatively, you can program the path in the CAM module (if you have a post processor), but you still need to position it on the machine (optimization depends on the type of work). - You can prepare a model design for 3D printing. But then you need to convert this project to G-Ccode. You can do this in Fusion 360, the dedicated program that comes with the machine, or in the standalone Cura 3D program.
- Similarly
In general, you should ask the seller of the device how and in what format you can deliver files/programs to the machine and what and what needs to be done with them next.
This all concerns the operation of the device, not the software.
