In the strangest opening to date, Autodesk Technical Evangelist Rob Cohee adds another video to his unscripted series. In this video Rob does a terrible impersonation of a British accent, but shows off some of the new Sheet Metal tools in Inventor 2010 that are going to put the competition on its heels. Here you will get a look into Lofted Flanges, Contour Rolls, Fold and Un-Fold, Punch tools and more. More importantly Rob is able to verify (ia a special guest appearance from Jay Tedeschi who puts Rob in his place) that he can in fact go to market with a design faster by ensuring the modeling technique utilized on the part can be manufactured within the time constraints. Entertaining, informative, and always off the cuff - Rob offers up some useful tips for Sheet Metal modeling within Autodesk Inventor.

  • great video, i have been working with advanced sheet metal techniques for a while now and am wondering if you have ever come across trying to make a sheet metal loft using a 3d sketch instead of the standard 2d sketchs, i have tried but with no success, maybe i am missing something. thanks!

  • @iannuhn post an example to my Facebook page if you could. Search for Rob Unscripted in Facebook and post something to the wall. Thanks - Rob.

  • how do you "video around" your view around the work space??? F4 key?

  • @redalf That's one way to do it, but I use a 3D mouse from 3DConnexion too.

  • Rob, what constraints would you recommend (if any) between the hood and the exhaust pipe? If you turn this example down-side up, it closely resembles a material bin I've chosen as a practice project.

  • You could use mates on the faces or points, or sometimes I like to use work planes, or place a UCS on both parts giving you three planes on each part that you can use as reference planes. Sometimes work features are great ways of positioning components relative to each other in an assembly when geometry alone doesn't work.
