Inventor Advanced – Sheet Metal Design
This course will teach the user how to create and document sheet metal parts inside of Autodesk Inventor. The course covers everything from basic sheet metal features to complex shapes and design techniques. The structure of the course follows the typical stages of using Inventor which is to create sheet metal parts, edit them, generate flat patterns, and document the designs in the drawings.
The primary objective of this course is to enable users to understand the basic features of Sheet Metal, what it consist, what it needs, what it delivers and how to create sheet metals base plate, bending, flanges and flat patterns.
