Inventor Sheet Metal Design Course Description
Course Description
This course covers the fundamental principles of sheet metal design using Autodesk® Inventor™. Students learn how to create and manage sheet metal designs. The course focuses on basic sheet metal concepts and techniques, and builds on them to include complex modeling practices for forming sheet metal parts, assemblies, and drawings.
Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.
Suggested Course Duration: 2 days
Onscreen Exercises Included: Yes
Training Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to teach students the skills needed to create and document sheet metal parts. After completing this course, the student will be able to describe terms and sheet metal processes that are used in industry, review various construction techniques, create and automate sheet metal design tools, and document sheet metal designs.
