AutoCAD Training Overview
The Autodesk Inventor 2015 Sheet Metal Design training guide introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with the Autodesk Inventor software.
The topics presented in this training guide assume prior knowledge of 3D solid part modeling using the Autodesk Inventor software. Students also need to be experienced with the Windows operating system. In addition, some background with designing and drafting 3D parts is recommended. Although it is not required, knowledge of sheet metal processing is helpful as students learn to use the sheet metal design tools.
The structure of the course follows the typical stages of using Inventor. That is, to create sheet metal parts, edit them, generate flat patterns, and document the designs in drawings. The major topics covered include:
