Advanced CAD is a class designed for those alread
y comfortable using Autodesk Inventor — sketching, extruding, and CADing up some basic parts. We focus on more advanced CAD techniques and on what the actual applications of Inventor knowledge will look like during the build season. We’ll go into assemblies, GrabCAD, 3D printing, sweeps, lofts, and much more!
We have made the RoHawks Advanced CAD Curriculum public in the hopes that individuals and other teams can use it to inspire their own learning or formation of educational programs.
