Sales prototypes are often different than engineering prototypes. They are quicker to make, are less sensitive to cost, and need to be exciting. In this class, you’ll learn to create sales prototypes that will help sell your ideas. You’ll learn how to recognize which features your prototype needs, how to create three-second demos, and how to close licensing deals or sales. Using Fusion 360 software, EAGLE, and off-the-shelf components, you can quickly make cheap influential prototypes that close deals. Prototypes enable you to amp up your presentations. Close more deals, sell more ideas, and discover which products are winners.

How can you design, prototype, and successfully launch products when your team is remote? Fusion 360 software and EAGLE CAD software have the collaborative tools you need to enable remote teams. Learn to simultaneously build great products using the Team and Collaboration features of Fusion 360 and EAGLE.

From cataloging tooling to final post processing, this class will walk through the world of Inventor CAM software. We’ll review several real-world examples to see the different machining operations and their options. For anyone from hobbyist to professional, Inventor CAM really is the one-size-fits-all software for your machining needs. We’ll then turn to Inventor Nesting and look at how Inventor quickly creates nested sheets from assemblies, as well as from other 2D profiles. Examples will include sheet metal and woodworking projects. In both workflows, we’ll modify the source files to show that the machining paths and nestings automatically update.

Ever wondered why Inventor software works the way it does? Ever had a question about a specific workflow or piece of functionality? Now’s your chance to interact with at least one senior developer of the Inventor product staff. Ask “why,” “how,” or “if,” about any aspect of Inventor software. Get technical explanations that may help you find another way to accomplish your task or understand the reasons for the current functionality. Explain your point of view directly to the people who make Inventor work and implement changes. This will be an honest two-way communication about Inventor workflows and technical details.

We are inviting you to this participatory research session to innovate and shape the future of Inventor software—and really enhance your productivity. We will use several LUMA methods to facilitate our discussions. The class will begin with a “What’s on Your Radar” practice to help attendees discuss Inventor software problems and assign them with weights. Then attendees will generate wide-ranging ideas on those pieces with no constraints in a Creative Matrix practice given a short amount of time. We’ll pick some of the ideas combining with our own preprepared ideas for a “Buy a Feature” practice to identify the most valuable areas for the Inventor Team to focus on. The Inventor UX Team will facilitate the entire session. Attendees need only to free their minds and speak out what the ideal Inventor software could be. This session features Inventor Professional and Vault Professional.

In this class, we’ll explore the new Export Revit Project (RVT file) functionality in Inventor 2022 software. We'll explore why BIM (Building Information Modeling) is important to building product manufacturers, custom fabricators, and industrial facility owners, and level set on Inventor software's existing BIM interoperability tools. We'll then work our way through a five-part workflow example that includes 1) importing Revit data with AnyCAD for Inventor for Revit projects (RVT file); 2) simplifying the manufacturing design model in Inventor, “bottom up” (with simplify) and “top down” using Model States (also new in Inventor 2022); 3) exporting the Inventor model as a Revit project (RVT file); 4) linking the Inventor model into Revit for review and collaboration; and 5) updating the Inventor model, and updating the export to see the design update in Revit. We'll provide data set and written and video recorded instructions, and there’ll be a live session of questions and answers.

This lab is an introduction to customizing Inventor software using the software’s programming interface. Inventor software is a general-purpose design tool, but as an Inventor software user you have unique needs. Using Inventor software’s Application Programming Interface (API) you can customize Inventor software to be a tool specifically for you. Writing programs can often be intimidating, but this lab will cover the very basics of using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Inventor software’s programming interface to create custom applications. You’ll have hands-on experience creating your own program that works with Inventor software to drive parameters and work with iProperties.

Here is the key that will unlock the door to increased Inventor software productivity. This class takes a fast-paced approach to discovering little-known tools for the modeling, assembly, and drawing environment in Inventor software. A must-see for the Inventor power user.

Autodesk, Inc., continues to enhance Inventor software modeling providing flexible and powerful tools to perform hybrid-modeling workflows. In this class we will discuss the various modeling methods available within Inventor software, with specific focus on the new and enhanced Freeform tools in Inventor 2016 software that empower designers to quickly and easily create, explore, iterate, and optimize designs, providing a truly connected design experience. The class includes a product demonstration illustrating the creation of an automotive wing mirror housing. The complex organic form of the wing mirror model is readily applicable to other industries, such as consumer product and industrial design.
