1) INTRODUCTION TO INVENTOR
Autodesk Inventor is a computer-aided design application for 3D mechanical design,
simulation, visualization, and documentation developed by Autodesk. 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.[2] Autodesk Inventor includes parametric, direct edit and freeform modeling tools as well as
multi-CAD translation capabilities and in their standard DWG drawings. Inventor uses
ShapeManager, Autodesk's proprietary geometric modeling kernel. Autodesk Inventor competes
directly with SolidWorks, Solid Edge, and Creo.

2) OBJECTIVE
 Student use software basic and user interface in Autodesk Inventor 2015
Professional Software.
 Student can sketch object in 2-D and build 3-D model using Autodesk Inventor
2015 Professional software.
 Student can do a drawing block and assembly the part that they sketch in 2-D
sketch and 3-D modeling

3) EQUIPMENT & MATERIALS

i. Autodesk Inventor 2015 Software
ii. Computer Processing Unit (CPU)
iii. Monitor
iv. Keyboard
v. Technical Drawing - Mini Project
4) SAFETY PRECAUTION
a) Log-in the computer with the student username and password for student use
only. Never share student username and password.
b) Chewing gum, foods, or drinks are not allowed in the computer lab or anywhere a
near a computer.
c) Respect the equipment. Do not remove or disconnect parts, cables or labels.
d) Personal internet use for chat rooms, instant messaaging (IM), or email is strictly
prohibited.
e) Do not download or install any programs, games, or music
f) No internet / internet gaming activities allowed.
g) Do not personalize the computer settings.
h) CD-Roms, thumbs drives, or other multimedia equipments are for lesson work
only. Do not use them for playing music or other recreational activities.
i) Do not run programs thaat continue to execute after you log off.
j) Log-off - leave the computer ready for the next person to use. Pick-up the
students material and push in the chair.
5) PROCEDURES
 Firstly, open the Autodesk Inventor 2015 Professional software
 Open the drawing and star a new sketch. Build every part of the steam engine
(vertical twin cylinder steam engine) and save it for the assemblies.
 After all the part is done, open the assembly menu and start assembly all of the
part.
 When all the part assemblied, try do an animation for motion of the steam engine
(vertical twin cylinder steam engine). if all the part starts moving, the model of
the steam engine are already done.

6) DISSCUSION
As the discussion, why the inventor is so important is because Inventor software
helps AutoCAD users to quickly become proficient with Digital Prototyping
workflows by offering a familiar design environment, AutoCAD-compatible short-
cuts, and out-of-the-box user profiles for AutoCAD experts. Inventor with any
experience, it is pretty easy to learn. Inventor also to be easy navigation
and simple set up. Considering everyone have used AutoCAD which
is Autodesk family, its even better. Besides that, Inventor is one of the popular
mechanical design tools for various manufacturing industries. It is very popular
among industrial equipment and machinery.

7) CONCLUSION
As the conclusion, Autodesk Inventor can be used for mechanical design, product
simulation, and tooling creation. It can aid you greatly in simulation and visualization
even before your products are built. Inventor is a dimension driven CAD application
that is used in engineering designs, visualization simulation, and documentation. The
goals of this project were to be introduced to 3D solid modeling, work on technical
writing skills, and to become more familiar with website creation.
