Course Overview

SHARE

The Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal Design course introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modelling with the Autodesk Inventor software.  The structure of the guide follows the typical stages of using the Autodesk Inventor software. That is, to create and edit sheet metal parts, generate flat patterns, and document the designs in drawings.

Course Objectives

After completing this course participants should be able to understand and/or create:

  • Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal interface
  • Sheet metal design process
  • Creating base Faces, Contour Flanges, and Contour Rolls
  • Creating secondary Faces, Contour Flanges, and Contour Rolls
  • Sheet metal parameters
  • Creating Flanges
  • Creating Hems, Folds, and Bends
  • Corner Rounds and Chamfers
  • Sheet Metal Cuts (Holes, Cuts, and Punch Features)
  • Corner Seams (Seams and Mitres)
  • Generating Flat Patterns
  • Lofted Flanges
  • Rips
  • Unfolding and Refolding
  • Multi-Body Sheet Metal Modelling
  • Documentation and Annotation of drawings
  • Converting solid models to sheet metal models
  • Sheet Metal Styles

Pre-requisites

  • Completion of Inventor Introduction to Solid Modelling or have an equivalent understanding of the Inventor user interface and working environment
  • Knowledge of sheet metal processing is an asset, but not required
