Autodesk Inventor 2024 A Tutorial Introduction

Autodesk Inventor 2024 A Tutorial Introduction

This unique text and video set presents a thorough introduction to Autodesk Inventor for anyone with little or no prior experience with CAD software. It can be used in virtually any setting from four year engineering schools to on-the-job use or self-study. Unlike other books of its kind it begins at a very basic level and ends at a very advanced level. It’s perfect for anyone interested in learning Autodesk Inventor quickly and effectively using a learning by doing approach. Additionally the extensive videos that are included with this book make it easier than ever to learn Inventor by clearly demonstrating how to use its tools. The philosophy behind this book is that learning computer aided design programs is best accomplished by emphasizing the application of the tools. Students also seem to learn more quickly and retain information and skills better if they are actually creating something with the software program. The driving force behind this book is learning by doing. The instructional format of this book centers on making sure that students learn by doing and that students can learn from this book on their own. In fact this is one thing that differentiates this book from others: the emphasis on being able to use the book for self-study. The presentation of Autodesk Inventor is structured so that no previous knowledge of any CAD program is required. This book uses the philosophy that Inventor is mastered best by concentrating on applying the program to create different types of solid models starting simply and then using the power of the program to progressively create more complex solid models. The Drawing Activities at the end of each chapter are more complex iterations of the part developed by each chapter’s objectives. Since CAD programs are highly visual there are graphical illustrations showing how to use the program. This reinforces the learn by doing philosophy since a student can see exactly what the program shows and then step through progressive commands to implement the required operations. Rather than using a verbal description of the command a screen capture of each command is replicated. Included Videos Each book includes access to extensive video training created by author Scott Hansen. The videos follow along with the table of contents of the book. Each chapter has one or more videos in which the author demonstrates how to use the tools that are covered in that chapter. Most videos follow an exercise from start to finish. The exercises created in the video are very similar to the exercise found in the corresponding chapter. Throughout the videos Scott Hansen describes how to perform each step the reason behind these steps and some of the other options available with the various tools. The author's clear and simple description of each exercise is a perfect companion to the text and makes learning Autodesk Inventor easier than ever. There are thirty-four videos with four hours and thirty-nine minutes of training in total. To access the videos you will need to follow the instruction included on the inside front cover to redeem the access code included with each book. Redeeming the code will add this book to your SDC Publications Library and allow you to access the videos whenever you want. | Autodesk Inventor 2024 A Tutorial Introduction

Virtual Machining Using CAMWorks 2023 CAMWorks as a SOLIDWORKS Module

Virtual Machining Using CAMWorks 2023 CAMWorks as a SOLIDWORKS Module

This book is written to help you learn the core concepts and steps used to conduct virtual machining using CAMWorks. CAMWorks is a virtual machining tool designed to increase your productivity and efficiency by simulating machining operations on a computer before creating a physical product. CAMWorks is embedded in SOLIDWORKS as a fully integrated module. CAMWorks provides excellent capabilities for machining simulations in a virtual environment. Capabilities in CAMWorks allow you to select CNC machines and tools extract or create machinable features define machining operations and simulate and visualize machining toolpaths. In addition the machining time estimated in CAMWorks provides an important piece of information for estimating product manufacturing cost without physically manufacturing the product. The book covers the basic concepts and frequently used commands and options you’ll need to know to advance from a novice to an intermediate level CAMWorks user. Basic concepts and commands introduced include extracting machinable features (such as 2. 5 axis features) selecting machine and tools defining machining parameters (such as feed rate) generating and simulating toolpaths and post processing CL data to output G-codes for support of CNC machining. The concepts and commands are introduced in a tutorial style presentation using simple but realistic examples. Both milling and turning operations are included. One of the unique features of this book is the incorporation of the CL (cutter location) data verification by reviewing the G-codes generated from the toolpaths. This helps you understand how the G-codes are generated by using the respective post processors which is an important step and an ultimate way to confirm that the toolpaths and G-codes generated are accurate and useful. This book is intentionally kept simple. It primarily serves the purpose of helping you become familiar with CAMWorks in conducting virtual machining for practical applications. This is not a reference manual of CAMWorks. You may not find everything you need in this book for learning CAMWorks. But this book provides you with basic concepts and steps in using the software as well as discussions on the G-codes generated. After going over this book you will develop a clear understanding in using CAMWorks for virtual machining simulations and should be able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired to carry out machining assignments and bring machining consideration into product design in general. Who this book is for This book should serve well for self-learners. A self-learner should have a basic physics and mathematics background. We assume that you are familiar with basic manufacturing processes especially milling and turning. In addition we assume you are familiar with G-codes. A self-learner should be able to complete the ten lessons of this book in about forty hours. This book also serves well for class instructions. Most likely it will be used as a supplemental reference for courses like CNC Machining Design and Manufacturing Computer-Aided Manufacturing or Computer-Integrated Manufacturing. This book should cover four to five weeks of class instructions depending on the course arrangement and the technical background of the students. What is virtual machining? Virtual machining is the use of simulation-based technology in particular computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to aid engineers in defining simulating and visualizing machining operations for parts or assembly in a computer or virtual environment. By using virtual machining the machining process can be defined and verified early in the product design stage. Some if not all of the less desirable design features in the context of part manufacturing such as deep pockets holes or fillets of different sizes or cutting on multiple sides can be detected and addressed while the product design is still being finalized. In addition machining-related problems such as undesirable surface finish surface gouging and tool or tool holder colliding with stock or fixtures can be identified and eliminated before mounting a stock on a CNC machine at shop floor. In addition manufacturing cost which constitutes a significant portion of the product cost can be estimated using the machining time estimated in the virtual machining simulation. Virtual machining allows engineers to conduct machining process planning generate machining toolpaths visualize and simulate machining operations and estimate machining time. Moreover the toolpaths generated can be converted into NC codes to machine functional parts as well as die or mold for part production. In most cases the toolpath is generated in a so-called CL data format and then converted to G-codes using respective post processors. | Virtual Machining Using CAMWorks 2023 CAMWorks as a SOLIDWORKS Module

Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2022 A Multidisciplinary Guide to Drafting Theory and Practice with Video Instruction

Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2022 A Multidisciplinary Guide to Drafting Theory and Practice with Video Instruction

Technical Drawing 101 covers topics ranging from the most basic such as making freehand multiview sketches of machine parts to the advanced—creating an AutoCAD dimension style containing the style settings defined by the ASME Y14. 5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. But unlike the massive technical drawing reference texts on the market Technical Drawing 101 aims to present just the right mix of information and projects that can be reasonably covered by faculty and assimilated by students in one semester. Both mechanical and architectural projects are introduced to capture the interest of more students and to offer a broader appeal. The authors have also created extensive video training (176 videos 26 hours total) that is included with every copy of the book. In these videos the authors start off by getting students comfortable with the user interface and demonstrating how to use many of AutoCAD's commands and features. The videos progress to more advanced topics where the authors walk students through completing several of the projects in the book. The CAD portion of the text incorporates drafting theory whenever possible and covers the basics of drawing setup (units limits and layers) the tools of the Draw Modify and Dimension toolbars and the fundamentals of 3D modeling. By focusing on the fundamental building blocks of CAD Technical Drawing 101 provides a solid foundation for students going on to learn advanced CAD concepts and techniques (paper space viewports xrefs annotative scaling etc. ) in intermediate CAD courses. In recognition of the diverse career interests of our students Technical Drawing 101 includes projects in which students create working drawings for a mechanical assembly as well as for an architectural project. We include architectural drawing because our experience has shown that many (if not most) first-semester drafting students are interested in careers in the architectural design field and that a traditional technical drawing text which focuses solely on mechanical drawing projects holds little interest for these students. The multidisciplinary approach of this text and its supporting materials are intended to broaden the appeal of the curriculum and increase student interest and it is hoped future enrollments. | Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2022 A Multidisciplinary Guide to Drafting Theory and Practice with Video Instruction
