AutoCAD Training Overview
The Autodesk Inventor 2016 Sheet Metal Design training guide introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with the Autodesk Inventor software.
The structure of the course 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.

- Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal interface
- Sheet metal design process
- Creating base Faces, Contour Flanges, and Contour Rolls
- Creating secondary Faces, Contour Flanges, and Contour Rolls
- Sheet metal Parameters
- Creating Flanges
- Creating Hems, Folds, and Bends
- Corner Rounds and Chamfers
- Sheet Metal Cuts (Holes, Cuts, and Punch Features)
- Corner Seams (Seams and Miters)
- Generating Flat Patterns
- Lofted Flanges
- Rips
- Unfolding and Refolding
- Documentation and Annotation of drawings
- Converting solid model to sheet metal models
- Sheet Metal Styles
Prerequisites
- Prior knowledge of 3D solid part modeling using the Autodesk® Inventor® software.
- Familiarity with the Microsoft® Windows® operating system.
- A background in designing and drafting 3D parts is recommended.
