The first two videos discussing how to set up models in Inventor CAM are available now. These will teach you how to create a setup, which most importantly defines the machining type, the stock, and the work coordinate system.

Did you know that you can now do keyword searches in a Parameter dialog box? Take the next 2+ minutes to watch how you can do this in your Inventor models.

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. There will be two videos for each of the four skills - one instructional discussion using Power Point slides and one demonstration with the software.

With the release of Inventor 2024, Autodesk has transitioned the Precise Input sketching tool to a more modern mini-toolbar. Watch this video for more.

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

The Home page is the first thing that you see when you open Inventor 2023. Do you know how to use all of its tools and features? If not, read on!
