In this inventor 101 video we ll take you through all of the sheet metal design basics you ll need to know to get started with this type of material.

If you design small objects this material is often thin. See search results below. Specifying a part as sheet metal displays the sheet metal tab and adds sheet metal specific parameters to the parameters list. Autodesk inventor allows for converting models to sheet metal.

Conversely you can convert sheet metal part to a standard part. Think of the shapes you can make from a flat sheet of metal and a brake press. Inventor will not flat pattern pressed shapes for example a car door. Presentation 5 slides 0 results result.

Come to this class to learn how to create a simple sheet metal hopper. In the creation pro. Before you begin download the step by step guide pdf. A sheet metal part is often thought of as a part fabricated from a sheet of uniformly thick material.

In this tutorial we will learn about the basic techniques related to autodesk inventor s sheet metal functionality by modelling a cover. Doing so closes the sheet metal tab and restores the standard part modeling commands and environment. Design a sheet metal bracket in this project we ll design a bracket using the sheet metal environment inside inventor for an inkjet printer while in context of the larger assembly. Let s start with the rules of sheet metal rule 1 you must have a consistent thickness.

No one wants to create an autodesk inventor sheet metal part that won t unfold. Which means regardless where the model geometry originates you can convert it to sheet metal add sheet metal features and generate the flat pattern. A variety of modern parts are designed and constructed using sheet metal and chances are you ll be designing a part out of sheet metal at some point too. Total project time approximately 20 minutes.
