Length: 5 Days, Fee per person: $1375
Training Calendar • Registration Form (pdf, 38kb)
Participants are introduced to the Inventor modeling environment and the necessary skills to begin creating and editing parts and assemblies. The focus of this course is on using parametric and feature modeling to build geometry driven by dimensions and relationships. No Inventor experience is necessary. Participants should have good computer skills and familiarity with manufacturing processes like machining, molding and sheet metal forming.
The outline below summarizes the topics covered in our Five day Autodesk Inventor Workshop. The workshop is comprised of lecture, demonstration and exercises from the included course materials, as well as practice student exercises.
