Description
Course Overview:This is a beginner-friendly Autodesk Inventor course that will guide you step-by-step through the elements of Autodesk Inventor. You will learn how to navigate the various file interfaces, create parts and sketches, build 3D Assembly models and how to create detailed 2D engineering drawings to industry standards. Throughout the course are Exams/ Tests that will enable you to apply the skills and techniques that you've learnt. The instructor demonstrates how to complete each one of these. The course is broken down into sections in a logical order for building your skills and knowledge in this powerful CAD tool.About the Instructor:Christopher Wymer MEng is an Automotive Engineer specializing in Military Automotive Modifications.

He also teaches various CAD software's to students undertaking Engineering and Design courses and runs online classes for students and professionals globally. Chris began his career working for automotive OEM's and has since moved to military applications. Chris aims to further educate those who are also passionate for design.Who should enroll on this Course:Whether you're a student, engineer, or hobbyist, this course is perfect for anyone starting out with Autodesk Inventor or for those who want to brush up on their skills. By the end of this course, you will have the skillset to begin independently navigating and creating your own designs.Course Pre-requisites:Autodesk Inventor 2018+ software are suitable versions for this course. Older versions will be fine but the tools and layout may be slightly different.
