This course serves as an introduction to the Autodesk Inventor® software with plenty of one-on-one instruction. The course will begin with an overview of the software, the menus, tools and features needed to create many types of engineering drawings. No prior experience is needed. However, it is helpful if students have a basic understanding of how to use a personal computer and some experience looking at blueprints.
Autodesk Inventor is a software for creating solid models of items and from those models generating an engineering drawing. Once a model is constructed on the computer we then have the option of sending it to a 3D printer to produce a plastic model of the item. This technology is often referred to as “Additive Manufacturing” of “Rapid Prototyping”. It is the intent of this course to have all students create at least one object which we will then print on the 3D printer.
Topics include:
Understanding the Autodesk Inventor® screen
Basics of solid modeling
Creating solid model components
Parametric Constraint fundamentals
Create or subtracting features such as Fillets, Shells, Extrusions, Holes, Revolutions etc.
Creating drawing sheets.
Sectional Views
Sheet Metal parts
Using content built into the software
Plotting drawings
Creating 3D printer parts and more.
Students are requested to bring with them a USB Flash Drive (2GB or larger). Textbook and handouts are provided.
