In this Inventor Sheet Metal Design training course, expert author Adam Cooper teaches you all about the sheet metal styles and templates that will help simplify tasks associated with designing complex sheet metal parts. This course is designed for users that already have a working knowledge of Inventor. You will start by learning the sheet metal base features, including face, contour roll, and lofted flange. You will then learn the secondary features such as folds, bends, and bend relief types. Adam will teach you about the different modification tools available, including unfold/refold, punch tools, and how to work with mirrored sheet metal. This video tutorial will show you how to create flat patterns, including how to work in the flat patter environment, orient and export flat patterns. Finally, you will learn about sheet metal documentation, such as placing views, bend annotation, and punch notes and tables. Once you have completed this video based training course, you will have an in-depth knowledge of how to design sheet metal parts in Inventor. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
