Program Summary: This 28 hour hands-on course on Autodesk Inventor™ covers solids, parts and assemblies, editing of 3D models, creation of part drawings and plotting of part drawings. This course offers a comprehensive solution to those seeking to enhance their 3D design projects by incorporating Inventor’s 3D parametric feature based and adaptive technologies. It brings the designer up the learning curve from the basic 3D parametric technology to assembly modeling and finally to part drawings.
Who Should Attend?: This course is designed to bring the 3D designer or engineer to a productive level of experience. It is an appropriate course of all design disciplines that are intending on using parametric modeling as a basis for design content creation.
Program Prerequisites: A previous course in 3D Modeling or 6 months design experience using 3D based CAD software. This course is designed for those already accomplished at creating 3D models in AutoCAD® or other 3D CAD software packages. Experience using Windows-based operating systems is recommended.
