Designing parts out of solid metal block stock is useful and all, but every good design engineer isn’t limited to just those materials. 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.
Autodesk Inventor now has integrated sheet metal tools that make it easier to design with sheet metal. 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.
