Autodesk Inventor 2021 (Voucher Included)

Prepare for the Autodesk Inventor Certified User exam and learn how to navigate the Autodesk Inventor interface. You will master key skills, including creating new part files, adding sketches to the parts and using these sketches to create 3D solid geometry. Along with the sketched based features, you will also learn how to incorporate many additional features to both add and remove geometry. These include features such as chamfers, fillets, holes, drafts, shells, and ribs. The course content is heavily focused on hands-on exercises which require that the software be installed.

This course offers enrollment with a voucher. The voucher is pre paid access to sit for the certifying exam upon eligibility.

What you will learn

• Creating and editing solid 3D model geometry using sketched and placed features.
• Placing and constraining/connecting 3D models into larger assemblies.
• Creating Presentation files (Exploded views and Animations) and learning how to simulate motion between parts in an assembly.
• Creating and annotating drawings to communicate the design in a 2D format.

How you will benefit

• Autodesk Inventor is a software product known in the product design industry. Companies who are recruiting modelers would require knowledge of this product prior to hiring
• Taking this course provides the key skills to efficiently and effectively work with the 3D Part, Assembly and 2D Drawing tools that are available in Autodesk Inventor 2021 software
