Sheet Metal Design
Master Inventor!
More than just sheet metal!
The Inventor 2023-24: Sheet Metal Design course requires advanced skills. We recommend that you've passed the final exam for Solid Modeling, Assemblies & Advanced Concepts, 2D Drafting and Customization before attempting to learn the skills taught in this course.
Even if you don't work with sheet metal you should take this course. It covers advanced concepts that can be used on standard models. For example, a new Top Down Design method is used. You'll learn how to use the Frame Generator, you'll practice creating custom structural shapes stored in the Content Center, and much more.
The Sheet Metal Design course also shows you how to simplify and automate modeling tasks. Sheet metal concepts like k-factor and bend allowances will automatically be applied to your models. You'll setup sheet metal rules that control the whole process and assures your parts meet your specification.
A critical aspect of sheet metal modeling is having your models successfully unfold to a flat pattern. You'll know what makes this process fail and how to fix it. By the time you finish this course all your parts will successfully unfold. No fixing necessary.
Multi-Body modeling is a skill everyone should learn. It's one of the most preferred methods of assembly development. It's also covered in detail in this course.
Once you've created your sheet metal parts you'll need to make mechanical drawings. Even though you've mastered mechanical drawings in the 2D Drafting and Customization course you'll learn the details of sheet metal drawings. The aspects of sheet metal drawings that are not covered in the 2D Drafting and Customization course are covered here.
Flat patterns are typically exported for fabrication. So it's covered. Everything you need to make professional sheet metal models and assemblies is covered in this course.
The Inventor 2023-24: Sheet Metal Design course is designed to take your skills to a professional level. It's just a few clicks away.
