Inventor Advanced - CAM
Inventor Advanced - CAM Course Overview
Course Description
This course is for CAM or CAD users who want to learn to create CNC strategies on Inventor CAM for 2.5 axis machines and drilling cycles. This course covers the techniques required to take a model from the CAD environment,
plot toolpaths, simulate and post process them to gcode.
Course Duration
3 Days
Objective
Understand the fundamental concepts, workflows and benefits of using Inventor HSM.
Who Should Attend?
For Inventor users that wish to utilize the HSM CAM environment to create 2, 2.5 axis and drilling toolpaths and process them into g-code for use on a CNC machine.
Prerequisites
Fundamental Inventor software knowledge is advised; essentials level training is adequate. It is recommended that users understand CNC machining theory.
