AutoCAD Training Overview
Inventor 2012 Sheet Metal Design introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with Autodesk Inventor. The topics presented in this training guide assume prior knowledge of 3D solid part modeling with Autodesk Inventor. Students also need to be experienced with the Windows operating system. In addition, some background with designing and drafting 3D parts (such as orthographic projections) is recommended.
Although it is not required, knowledge of sheet metal processing is helpful as students learn to use the Inventor Sheet Metal design tools.
The structure of the training guide 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.
