Inventor uses ShapeManager, Autodesk's proprietary geometric modeling kernel. Autodesk Inventor includes parametric, direct edit and freeform modeling tools as well as multi-CAD translation capabilities and in their standard DWG drawings. Inventor allows 2D and 3D data integration in a single environment, creating a virtual representation of the final product that enables users to validate the form, fit, and function of the product before it is ever built. It is designed as an early introduction to 3D design which will allow users to develop fundamentals and eventually move into learning more complex professional-level CAD programmes.Autodesk Inventor is a computer-aided design application for 3D mechanical design, simulation, visualization, and documentation developed by Autodesk. Tinkercad is a free online collection of design tools which allow users to create their own designs, save them, and export them to various formats for 3D printing or for use in virtual reality.
See a simplified example of the NUI Galway Quad recreated in TinkerCAD. Rather than working in flat planes, CAD software allows us to work and build in a manner closer to what we might experience when building in the physical world. However, computer-aided design (CAD) software can be extremely helpful in this respect. It can be challenging to adjust your thought process to this method. If we imagine that the top view is placed above the front view, we know exactly how large each element is. The front and top views of NUI Galway’s Quadrangle (below) show an example of the concept. If you look at architectural drawings, you’ll notice that they appear completely flat, but usually represent more than one view which when considered together, created a complete picture of how an object will appear in 3D space. Have you ever made something out of clay? What about Lego? Have you built a sandcastle before? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you’re already a 3D designer! The challenge then, is to learn to create a three-dimensional design in two-dimensional space. If you think you’re completely new to 3D design, you probably aren’t.
