Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal Design

CAD software like Autodesk Inventor makes sheet metal design quick and cost-effective. This course shows designers how to create and edit sheet metal parts, generate flat patterns, and document the designs in drawings.

Objectifs:

This training teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using INVENTOR. Building standalone sheet metal parts, converting parts to sheet metal, and modeling sheet metal parts in the context of an assembly are all topics that are covered in this course.
