Description
Does your manufacturing team consistently know where your design should have welds placed in your weldments? Does your product get welded differently each time? Does your welder have issues interpreting your weld symbols? Why not add welds into your models to alleviate these issues? If you have Inventor software, you have the ability to add welds into your assemblies. Get all the tips and tricks from Unverferth Manufacturing and learn how the firm has added welds into its Inventor models to show exactly where the weld beads should be placed by manufacturing. No more guessing and incorrect interpretation when it comes to welding parts together. Communicate design intent more precisely with the manufacturing team using fewer words and Inventor software’s weldment environment.
Key Learnings
- Learn about what the weld environment is and how to quickly get started with welds in Inventor
- Discover all that you can do to welds, from model-based geometry to adding those same symbols to your 2D print
- Learn about how one company has implemented welds into their assemblies
- Learn how to share the 3D models with your manufacturing team
Speakers
- MHMike HilversDesign Engineer Supervisor - Ohio for a 76 year old Family owned Agricultural/Farm Equipment Manufacturer. Been with the company for the past 28 years with roles as a Design Engineer/CAD Mgr. / Standards Mgr..... We started with AutoCad, grew up with Mechanical Desktop taking it thru it's full lifespan. The latest evolution, in conjunction with Autodesk, transitioned us to grabbing hold of Inventor and Vault in their infancy before they went public, and maturing into the processes we currently operate under. I'm a Graduate of The Ohio State University with B.S. in Agricultural Engineering. On the side I am the 5th Generation to Farm the Ground we live on with my wife and kids, making them the 6th generation to farm that land, dating back to Presidency of Abe Lincoln.
Steve HilversOver 35+ years of machinery design. I cut my teeth on a drafting board way back in the day, then 2D AutoCAD, 3D parametrics with Mechanical Desktop, Inventor, and Fusion. Also, the senior rules author for iLogic and our sales product configurator. Involved in every aspect of a products life from concept to design, prototype build, production, shipping the final product. Also take pride in being the CAD/data management administrator (Autodesk Vault) for all of our facilities and share some of the CAD management responsibilities. Autodesk University veteran of 15'ish years, AU speaker, Autodesk Vault Success Story/customer reference, and blog writer. I have given numerous presentations on 3D CAD and data management at Autodesk University and various CAD user groups in Ohio and Indiana. Goal as a professional is to streamline the engineering process. I would like to see our engineers and designers performing the tasks that they were hired to do and not become clerks of their own data. Want to minimize the effort and time it takes to organize and manage their designs so they can spend their time which is most beneficial to the company.....that is engineering and designing. To persuade and convince designers to think in 3D. We live in a 3D world, why not design in a 3D world? Companies and managers who haven't taken the leap to 3D CAD are missing out on on a whole set of tools which allow them to be better, more effective, and more efficient engineers. If you don't jump on the band wagon, you will be left behind. Also, township trustee, a DIY / Maker....which includes woodworking and building my own CNC router from scratch.... And most importantly a husband and father of two.
