Course Information: INVENTOR Essentials
Duration: 30 Hours (Online/Offline)
Description
This course is designed to help students learn product design using INVENTOR, a popular feature-based 3D parametric solid modelling software. In this course, the students will get in-depth knowledge of all important tools as well as their real world applications in conformity with widely accepted ISO standards, GD&T, 3D Printing, and standard practices followed in manufacturing processes in industry. In addition, students will be assigned a team project of their choice for better understanding of design intent and will also be required to make a portfolio of the work done.
