Title: I Love This Sheet Metal! Using Autodesk® Inventor® 2011 to Create Precision Sheet Metal Parts
Instructor: Rollin Godette
Course Description: This lab explores the sheet metal environment in Autodesk Inventor 2010. The class leads you on a journey through Autodesk Inventor's extensive set of sheet metal tools as you build a sheet metal guard for a machine that features cutouts, mitered corners, arc-welded corner reliefs, sheet metal fasteners, punched features, and three-bend corners. You will control creating and unfolding your model by using the new integrated Bend Table Editor to create your own bend table. You will set default feature creation by setting up your own sheet metal styles in the Style and Standard Editor. You will review the flat pattern and document your designs in the Drawing Manager. You will also learn to use flat pattern extents to determine the size of the stock required and recover punch centers, and you will use punch tables and punch notes to document features made with the Punch tool. Finally, you will create bend tables, bend notes and bend tags to document how the flat sheet will be fabricated.
