Prerequisites
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.
