Catalog description

Teaches basic 3D computer modeling course which emphasizes the development of 3D machine parts, assemblies, and drawings in a constraint-based modeling environment using AutoDesk Inventor. Emphasizes the feature based design process, which simulates actual manufacturing processes with 2D sketching tools and with 3D modeling tools including extrusions, revolutions, sweeps, lofts, coils, shells, placed features, patterns, and many others. Also teaches creation of basic multi-part assemblies, constraint-driven assembly animation, and generation of detailed production drawings. Software fee of $18 applies. Lab access fee of $45 for computers applies.
