Quick Tip – Patterning Milling Operations

As CAD and CAM continue to be further seamlessly integrated, the tools available to the modern design or manufacturing engineer are only expanded. Some of the most useful integrated tools are those that ease the barrier between design and manufacturing, such as pattern milling operations.

Patterns inside of Autodesk Inventor are incredibly useful when manufacturing parts that will be coming out of a larger stock. Using Inventors pattern tools, you can simulate tool paths, layout facing operations, set contours and more. Learn more about patterning in the quick tip video below!
