MFG323109 – Get Your Welders and Designers Connected (20-Plus Tips on Using Welds in Inventor)

Come and see Mike Hilvers and Steve Hilvers present their 2019 Las Vegas AU class.

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.
