More than just sheet metal!

The Inventor 2022: Sheet Metal Design course is an advanced course that requires the skills taught in the first 3 courses in the series. It extends these skills while teaching everything you need to create accurate sheet metal parts and assemblies. It even comes with a K-Factor calculator that outputs standard sheet metal information.

The advanced skills taught in the course expands your modeling talents even further. Many of these skills can be used on standard parts. So this course is a must see for anyone.

Sheet Metal modeling requires a fundamental understanding of sheet metal concepts like k-factor, bend allowance, bend deduction, and bent nominal length. These concepts are explained in simple to understand lessons that anyone can understand. Once you know about them you will use them in the construction of sheet metal parts.

The course also comes with a K-Factor Calculator that calculates all the sheet metal bend values. This allows you to reverse engineer values specific to your operation. The course shows all the steps. So it won't be long before you're constructing accurate and customized models.

The course explains the details of all the sheet metal commands as well as standard and custom punches. You'll practice using each command and you'll learn the best methods of using them. Knowing and advanced understanding of iFeatures from previous course, you'll gain even more insight about punches that the average user. This course is packed with tips and tricks that will help you get more work done in the shortest time possible.

It also covers the Frame Generator. Many sheet metal products are supported by a structural frame. The Sheet Metal Design course shows you how to build frames with custom member shapes. You can use the standard members that come with Inventor, but with custom member shapes you have full control. Any frame can be built in just a few clicks.

Once your frame is built you can weld it together in a Weldment Environment. The course covers all the welds and shows you how to simplify the process. You will prepare the assembly for welding, add welds, and then add post weld operations. With a few tips and tricks this can help you build a complete and professional looking assembly.

Inventor has special considerations for Multi-Body Modeling of Sheet Metal Parts. So this course extends Multi-Body Modeling concepts beyond the scope of previous courses.

You can rest assured that your sheet metal parts will successfully unfold to flat patterns. You will know the fundamentals that make this happen every time, and how to leverage these concepts. In fact, you'll be able to create standard Inventor parts, convert them to sheet metal parts, and then successfully unfold them. So this course gives you a well rounded understanding of everything you need to make sheet metal parts.

Both flat patterns and folded models are used in mechanical drawings. So this course covers all the details. You'll learn how to customize bend lines, bend callouts, bend order, and much more.

Typically DXF files of flat patterns are also used to program bending machines. So this course shows you how to export DXF files. There really isn't anything the course does not cover.
