Course Overview

SHARE

The Inventor Advanced Part Modelling course is designed to help users refine their skills in creating complex and highly detailed 3D models using Autodesk Inventor. This course covers a wide range of advanced modelling techniques, starting with model appearance customisation to enhance visual representation. You’ll dive into advanced sketching and modelling tools, multi-body part modelling, and the use of advanced work features to build intricate and precise designs. Learn to create complex shapes using advanced lofts, sweeps, and coils, and explore generative shape design techniques to optimise form and function. Gained expertise in surfacing tools, including additional surface options for refining and repairing geometry. The course also introduces part model states and iParts for efficient model variation management. Additionally, you’ll learn how to import and work with external CAD data, analyse models for accuracy and performance, and apply emboss and decal features to enhance the final design. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to confidently tackle advanced part modelling challenges, improving both design efficiency and overall product quality.
