Inventor Sheet Metal from Start To Press -part (1/2)

Description

In this session, we’ll start from scratch and create a sheet metal part to generate a flat pattern, export a DXF cut file, and create drawings with dimensioned bend lines. Discover best practices, things to avoid, and practical advice.

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to access and set up the sheet metal template for repeat use
  • Learn how to break down each of the sheet metal features and discover advanced techniques
  • Learn how to create flat patterns and export cut files for post processing
  • Learn how to document and dimension the part for shop fabrication

Speakers

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.
