Infinite Skills "Mastering Autodesk Inventor - Sheet Metal Design" Offers Specialized Training in the Sheet Metal Module of Popular 3D Design Program
(PRWEB) March 17, 2014 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week introduced its "Mastering Autodesk Inventor - Sheet Metal Design Tutorial," a concise set of lessons targeting capabilities for sheet metal design in the popular CAD program designed for mechanical engineers.
Autodesk Inventor is a 3D mechanical computer aided design (CAD) program used to create, visualize, and simulate, mechanical products.
Inventor's vast toolset includes specialized features and commands for thin-walled design, allowing users to create and modify the flat patterns common to sheet metal designs.
Infinite Skills Mastering Autodesk Inventor - Sheet Metal Design Tutorial demonstrates how to use these specialized tools to create robust sheet metal designs, complete with modification such as chamfers, folds, and cutouts.

An Inventor user since 1999, course author Adam Cooper is a career mechanical engineer designing primarily plastic installations in the automotive industry. He is also an accomplished trainer and a regular speaker at Autodesk University. He is an Autodesk Certified Instructor in Inventor and several other Autodesk programs.
Cooper begins with an overview of working with sheet metal in Inventor, explaining sheet metal templates and styles, and helping students set up the course working files.
From there, he introduces sheet metal base features, explaining basics like the face, contour flange, contour roll, and lofted flange.
The course then moves into more advanced features such as secondary faces, flanges, folds, bends, hems, and relief types.
Next, Cooper explains how to use Inventor's sheet metal modification tools, allowing users to add detail with cuts, rips, folds, chamfers, and more.
The course then concludes with chapters demonstrating how to create flat patterns and, finally, how to document your sheet metal designs.
"Autodesk Inventor has a subset of tools designed for thin-walled design," Cooper explains. "These tools allow us the ability to create formed sheet metal products based on standard parametric rules that help us guide thickness, bend radiuses, and all the other elements that go into proper sheet metal parts."
"By the end of the course, you should be able to create some robust sheet metal designs."
