Autodesk Inventor
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 4:00 – 7:00 PM, 2 days/week for 5 weeks. Room D427.
This course covers the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready parts and assembly drawings using Autodesk® Inventor™. Students learn how to capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts; creating, placing, and constraining custom and standard components in an assembly. Students also learn how to document their designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views; document assemblies and follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists. Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.
