With Inventor, you can save time and expense when making products. Draw and evaluate one of the structures on page 30.Autodesk Inventor is professional level CAD software used for product design and engineering, including 3D mechanical design, simulation, tool creation, and design communication. Duplicate the drawing and evaluation of a simple cantilever withĢ. stl, click on settings and in the top left hand corner of the box that pops up make sure that the units are the units that you designed the part with so that it has the correct dimensions when printed.Ģ.

Before clicking save once you have selected. This type of file can be uploaded to the Maker software so the design can be printed. stl if that option does not appear under the save menu. In order to print the file, save it as an STL file (.stl). Save the design as a Parts file (.prt) to allow you to continue editing the design. There are two different types of files that are important when it comes to saving your design. Select Environments, then stress analysis and create simulation Or ROTATE axis (click on corner and drag) This icon lets you to select different views The middle mouse button is used to zoom in or out

Revolve: rotate the profile around an arbitrary axis that you set Loft: like sweep but possible to gradually change the geometry of the profile (ex.

Sweep: draw a path and keep the profile normal to the path can draw any path that the profile takes (unlike extrude which has to be a straight, perpendicular line) (we used to make spring) circle -> cylinder, square -> cube/rectangle Extrude: bring the profile up perpendicular (ex. There are four main functions for converting the two-dimensional sketch into a three-dimensional object: There are functions for drawing circles, rectangles and free form shapes. Two-dimensional sketches are fairly straightforward. The basic premise behind the design software is that one first creates a two-dimensional drawing and then converts it into a three-dimensional shape using one of four main functions. The basic operations are either identical or very similar with only minor nuances between programs. Both of these programs use similar vocabulary and functions, so after learning one software, it is not difficult to transition to another. SolidWorks is another software that can be found on RIT computers in Mechanical Engineering. This software can be downloaded for free by students from the internet. The preferred software for compatibility with the 3D printers is Inventor. There are a few different kinds of 3D design software available for use by RIT students.
