What is Inventor?
Inventor is a software created by the software company Autodesk. Inventor can be used in many different ways such as creating individual parts or pieces and any shape or widget. The software has many helpful tools built in to help you create and shape pieces you need in very precise editing. In Idea we used inventor to create 6 widgets. We chose one of the widgets to 3D print and create a small 3D print of the widget.
What I Learned
This project taught me to use tools and features to 3D print. The first step was sketching the widgets on paper. Then we learned how to replicate the sketches in inventor. Once we were done creating our widget in inventor we learned how to transfer our widget to the 3D printer using a flash drive. Overall this was a good project to teach me the basics on using 3D printing software and the 3D printer.
