Inventor is a program that can be used to make 3D objects that can eventually be printed out on a 3D printer. Inventor has the ability to turn 2D sketches into 3D shapes with just a couple of steps. You can make endless thing from inventor and what I made was widgets. For one of the widgets I had to do a step by step and show the entire process of making that widget. This is my process through this entire project:
Throughout this entire project I learned how to do many things. I learned how to create a sketch on Inventor, make that sketch a 3D image, and how to print that 3D image into a real life solid object. I also learned how to create files, save pictures and snapshots of into that file and plug that file into a 3D printer and create something that I personally find very cool. This unit had its ups and downs but, in the end it was a lot of fun.
