Introduction of Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor is a professional-grade 3D CAD software for mechanical engineers that offers all core CAD features, including parametric design, stress analysis, and sheet metal design. It is used to create parts, assemblies, and drawings for manufacturing and production. In addition to product design, it is also best suited for tooling creation and simulation to test a product in motion before building it. Inventor is widely preferred for creating accurate 3D models and visualisation.
Scope of Course Autodesk Inventor
The course covers all the functionalities of Autodesk Inventor and its best-in-class tools for manufacturing models and drawings. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to use Inventor for creating 3D models and technical drawings for mechanical engineering purposes. The training curriculum of the software will deal with:
In-depth understanding of the User Interface of Autodesk Inventor
Modification of Sketch using powerful tools
Managing and modifying assembly efficiently
Creation of Drawings using Assembly and Parts
Transferring the sketch into a 3D body
Combining sub-assemblies into one assembly
method of adding essential annotations such as hole info, text dimension, weld info, surface info, etc.
Career Prospects / Job Roles after Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor is packed with more functionality, has ease of use, and provides greater support to create parts, assembly lines, and drawings straight for manufacturing and production. Its growing customer base is creating more scope for jobs and career opportunities in mechanical engineering. Students well versed in Inventor are placed as:
Design Engineer (Inventor)
CAD Designer (Inventor)
Mechanical Design Engineer (Inventor)
Plant 3D Engineer (Inventor)

FAQ's
FAQs on Autodesk Inventor Course
How long does it take to learn Autodesk Inventor?
Six months to get up to speed and twelve months to master it. Having said that, I've been using Inventor for six years+ and I'm still learning. So my tip is – keep an open mind and keep learning.
What is the training to be an inventor?
There are several education requirements to become an inventor. Inventors usually study business, mechanical engineering or drafting and design. 55% of inventors hold a bachelor's degree and 16% hold a associate degree
Can anyone become an inventor?
An inventor needs ideas, and the vision to design a solution around those ideas. You need a broad set of skills to design the solution. You need experience with these skills to know what will work and what won't. You can save a lot of time if you can see the trouble spots in advance.
Do you need math to be an inventor?
A good knowledge of math is essential to becoming an inventor.
