All You Do in One PlatformCAD to Nesting to CAM in Inventor -part (2/2)

Description

As a manufacturer of any product, you may like to turn your ideas into machined parts using a familiar interface. Manufacturing sheet metal models no longer has to be a difficult and challenging process involving multiple platforms. Using Inventor software as a single system, as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, you can complete the whole process with Inventor Nesting and Inventor CAM. With Inventor Nesting, you can optimize yield from flat raw material. Nesting studies also can be used to create and then update to reflect any changes to the design to optimize efficiency and reduce costs. After nesting, you can use Inventor CAM to create a computer numerical control (CNC) code that will ultimately turn Inventor designs into excellent finished parts. This class will share best practices for preparing your model, for using nesting to lay out cutting patterns and minimize raw material waste, and for generating a toolpath for machining.

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to prepare your models for nesting and machining using Inventor, Inventor Nesting, and Inventor CAM
  • Learn how to set up a nesting environment to successfully bring the models in Inventor Nesting
  • Learn how to generate a 3D nesting model to be used for Inventor CAM
  • Learn how to produce a toolpath for machining in Inventor CAM

My experience is primarily in manufacturing and design. I started drafting iron doors, gates, spiral staircases, and fire & water features. Became an engineer at an aerospace manufacturer of contacts and connectors working with Inventor 2010. Managed drawings for 53 screw machines, designed custom fixtures, multi-step drill bits, and specialty tooling. Worked for an iron entry door manufacturer with 80 welders. Moved them from AutoCAD to Inventor with parametric modeling and Vault revision management. Using Vault Copy Design led to streamlining of manufacturing, limited errors in plasma cutting, ensured proper fitment, and allowed customers to visualize with 3-D renderings. Took a position as Research & Development Designer. Joined Autodesk in June, 2017 working out of Portland, Oregon.

Ravi Javia is a Product Manager at Autodesk. Ravi graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology with BE in Mechanical Engineering (concentration in robotics and mechatronics) and an ME in Engineering Mgmt/Systems Engineering. He pursued his interest in Advanced Manufacturing while working with Magestic Systems Inc. which was later acquired by Autodesk in July 2014. Ravi has developed his expertise in nesting, cutting, and fabrication while working with various customers.

I'm a Technical Support Senior Specialist and a Team Lead in the Customer Success Organization at Autodesk. My expertise includes Inventor, Vault, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Mechanical, product installation / licensing and computer networking as well. Being in the technical support for over 14 years, I've been super passionate about helping our customers to be successful and productive every day by solving software problems and sharing best practices. Welcome to Autodesk community and thanks for being our valuable customers.
