Video description

In this Mastering Autodesk Inventor - Tooling and Plastic Design training course, expert author Adam Cooper will introduce you to the commands utilized for plastic part design and injection mold tooling creation in Autodesk Inventor Professional. This course is designed for users that already have experience with Autodesk Inventor Professional.
You will start by learning about the plastic part design tools, including the grill, lip, boss, and rule fillet. From there, Adam will teach you about mold core and cavity, including material selection, fill analysis and animation, and core pins and inserts. This video tutorial also covers mold layout and assembly design, such as cooling channels and components, ejectors, sliders, and lifters. Finally, you will learn about mold documentation, such as mold analysis, mold kinematics, and drawing automation.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of using the tools and commands in Autodesk Inventor Professional to design your own plastic parts and injection molds.
