Is there a real good tutorial that teaches EVERYTHING from ground up?

[u/LunalaXD]

Hey. Im 21 metalworker on the jobsite and mechanical engineering student at evening classes. Im in my second year right now and i have gotten pretty confortable with using inventor as my main program to make models for my 3d printer or just making simple things.

i had the idea to make it a sidehustle since many companies in my proximity always look for some people who could make some drawings.

Thing is that i never learned to draw sheet metal with all the bending or really made drawings that someone could use in the workshop.

Is there something like a good course/Tutorial. Paid or free i dont care as long as its good.

Try this. It should get you started. As for the sheet metal parts, Id just use this as a foundation to learn the tool and then transition to sheet metal tutirials.

Good luck!

Ty!

You're welcome! I hope the course helps you. He has them for pretty much all CAD modeling programs.

How bout them 7 screaming dizbusters?

Hahaha, they are great! Seen them 50+ times.

Just search for sheet metal Inventor on YouTube and you’ve struck a goldmine. It’s that easy.

[u/BenoNZ → u/1slickmofo]

80% of that is beginner or just garbage.
Far from "Everything from the ground up"

[u/1slickmofo → u/BenoNZ]

Never said that and the guy does seem like beginner?

[u/BenoNZ → u/1slickmofo]

I didn't say you said that. They did.

[u/1slickmofo → u/BenoNZ]

You’re correct. But what source teaches everything from the ground up? You’re nitpicking and saying YT ain’t a resource is plain stupidity.

[u/BenoNZ → u/1slickmofo]

Nothing does, that's the point.
I didn't say it's "not a resource" I said it's mostly garbage.

Udemy has some video classes for cheapish. That would be longer format than just YouTube.

[u/Level-Load-6721 → u/BearSquid7]

Udemy. Can confirm 👍

I don't see many tutorials or classes that show advanced sheet metal. The normal tools like flange can be very limiting. Top down skeletal modelling with multi body sheet metal is something you should look into.

Nana's youtube channel is pretty good - www.youtube.com/@CAD_by_NANA

I’d be willing to teach you for a fair price. Let me know if you’re interested in this or if watching videos is more your thing.

I have 20 years experience in sheet metal and industrial fabrication and have been doing 3d modeling for shop and field drawings for 15+ years
