Jennifer has achieved the Autodesk Certified Professional certification for Inventor and is also recognized as an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI). Manager – Learning Content DevelopmentTrained in Instructional Design, Jennifer uses her skills to develop instructor-led and web-based training products as well as knowledge profiling tools. Please reach out if you have any questions. If you are interested in more in-depth instructional content, datasets, and exercises that allow you to try all my demonstration models, I recommend checking out our Autodesk Inventor CAM 2021: Milling Fundamentals learning guide. This series is approximately 60 minutes’ worth of content, whereas the ASCENT guide on which it is based is approximately 2 days of content. Post process the toolpath data file to generate the CNC code. Preview the toolpath using the Simulation tools. These will teach you how to create a setup, which most importantly defines the machining type, the stock, and the work coordinate system.Ĭreate the first setup for the operation in the Inventor CAM environment.ĭefine toolpaths for the model. The first two videos discussing how to set up models in Inventor CAM are available now. There will be two videos for each of the four skills - one instructional discussion using Power Point slides and one demonstration with the software. My AU class was broken into four learning objectives ( watch intro video), which conveniently align with the four key skills that a new user will need to learn: defining your setup, adding toolpaths, checking your toolpaths with simulations, and generating the CNC code to manufacture your model. Over the next four weeks, I am going to break up my presentation into smaller videos that you can quickly watch to begin learning Inventor CAM. With the conference complete and my full class now available on the Autodesk University website, I was thinking of ways that I could share this with all of you.

I decided to use my 60 minutes to help new Inventor CAM users get started with the software. As you likely know, this conference was all online and it really challenged us, as speakers, to create engaging and relevant content. Since my last post on Inventor CAM, I had the opportunity to present a class at Autodesk University 2020 on this same topic.
