• Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal interface
• Sheet metal design process
• Creating base Faces, Contour Flanges, and Contour Rolls
• Creating secondary Faces, Contour Flanges, and Contour Rolls
• Sheet metal parameters
• Creating Flanges
• Creating Hems, Folds, and Bends
• Corner Rounds and Chamfers
• Sheet Metal Cuts (Holes, Cuts, and Punch Features)
• Corner Seams (Seams and Miters)
• Generating Flat Patterns
• Lofted Flanges
• Rips
• Unfolding and Refolding
• Multi-Body Sheet Metal Modeling
• Documentation and Annotation of drawings
• Converting solid models to sheet metal models
• Sheet Metal Styles
