Chapter 3 While great design in itself is enough of a reason to take up advanced modeling practices, it is not the only reason to build detailed models. Autodesk software can also help with marketing applications. This chapter covers the basics of how to show off your model. Starting with applying material and texture patterns and appearances, we move all the way through basic animation in Inventor Studio and visual demonstrations in Autodesk Showcase. Your marketing team will love this chapter, as it demonstrates some great tools to use when recruiting and attaining sponsors.
Drawings for Manufacturing Welcome to Built by Design, a series of videos created to teach FIRST students how to effectively use Autodesk Inventor. Created by FIRST students, this series is meant to help teams improve the efficiency, completion speed, and accuracy of their designs. This video shows how to export your Inventor designs to design diagrams. Having good designs won’t benefit you if you can’t then go and accurately build what you designed. Creating detailed diagrams in Inventor can help keep your manufacturing team from making communication-related mistakes. Until next time, good luck out there.
Visualization Welcome to Built by Design, a series of videos created to teach FIRST students how to effectively use Autodesk Inventor. Created by FIRST students, this series is meant to help teams improve the efficiency, completion speed, and accuracy of their designs. This video shows you how to make your models more realistic and aesthetically pleasing by applying appearances and textures of different materials to faces and parts, placing decals, and changing the options on the “View” tab in Inventor. Until next time, good luck out there.
Showcase Welcome to Built by Design, a series of videos created to teach FIRST students how to effectively use Autodesk Inventor.
