Sometimes I get questions about editing sheet metal in the context of extending geometry. Although CAD programs like Inventor have a set of tools that automate work with sheet metal structures, it seems that they are optimal for trimming, shortening and material removal, and not the best for extendi...

Do you like Christmas gingerbread?
Do you prefer them with icing or dry?
Or maybe with filling?

Today I present a tutorial on playing with a 3D model and a configurator of this delicious tradition.





Merry Christmas to all!

How often do you do things that are similar to each other? What should you automate? This new tutorial shows an example of configuring a product. You can find here: ✅ Part modeling ✅ Assembly modeling ✅ Parameterization ✅ Connection of parameters between files ✅ iLogic rules ✅ iLogic configurator Wa...

How to model a simple handle? A trivial question. But is it really? Before I try to answer this question, let me remind you that the purpose of creating CAD models is primarily to enable efficient and error-free production. Although the project can fulfill many roles, in the end you have to remember...

The main role of CAD programs such as Autodesk Inventor is to support production - both through conceptual work, verification and analysis, through workshop documentation, and ending with files for CNC machines. For years, welders and metalworkers have been successfully preparing structures from pro...

Broken profiles are an artistic treat for welders and forgers. They can be used as decorations, frames, or container elements. However, designing such elements is not particularly intuitive in the CAD environment. So how do you adapt to constant changes when more and more plants have CNC profile cut...

3D scanning offers huge opportunities in the area of ​​metrology and reverse engineering. However, the scanning stage alone is not sufficient in most processes. A pre-processed scan: 🟢 suitable as a reference material in the design process 🟡 averagely suitable for 3D printing (less demanding cases) ...

How to prepare a flat pattern based on sheet metal assembly?? This question has come to me twice this year. That's why I decided to record this tutorial. #Autodesk #Inventor does not have this functionality, but there are toolkits that allow you to easily bypass these limitations and enjoy complete ...

W przypadku wycinania blach i profili na laserze niezwykle ważna jest wspólna cecha wszystkich detali - prostopadłość powierzchni. Najnowsza aktualizacja Autodesk Inventor 2025.1 wprowadza nowość, która pomaga znacznie usprawnić ten proces - szablon operacji (wstępne ustawienia). Korzystając z szabl...
