Inventor is a computer software that allows you to make complex shapes as well as assemblies. You make 3D objects in the software and can add or remove from the material. Inventor can be used to make 3D printed items like what we did. You also are allowed to scale what you are making exactly. You will be able to use Inventor to make parts that you need and will be able to see if that part will work in that project.
Through this whole process I learned a lot. I first learned how to use Inventor which I thought was pretty fun. I first herd of the program in 8th grade and hoped on it a little but never dove deep into it. I then learned how to use the makerbot software and I thought that it was so simple and that it tells the machine a lot with just how simple it was. I finally learned how the 3D printer worked and how fast the arm moved. I didn't know just how many layers went into a single little project and how long it took. Overall I really enjoyed myself with this project and thought that I learned a lot.
