Course Description
This course is an introduction to Autodesk Inventor software. Students will learn how to design everyday consumer products in 3D. A product designer combines art, design, and technology to create new products that people can use. Topics include: sketching a part, adding constraints and dimensions, modeling a part, parametric design, creating assembly drawings, producing 2D working part drawings, creating renderings and animations, sheet metal components, and stress analysis.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Be able to create sketches of part.
- Be able to create constraints and dimensions of a part.
- Be able to model a part.
- Be able to create assembly drawings.
- Be able to create 2D working part drawings.
- Be able to create presentation drawings.
