The topic for this meeting will be "Inventor's Sheet Metal and an Introduction to Inventor Fusion."

In this meeting Rodney Thomas from A & A MFG will be presenting how they utilize Autodesk Inventor's sheet metal tools. Also in this meeting we will also be reviewing Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion Technology Preview that allows you to directly manipulate a model that may or may not have parametric features. If an Inventor parametric model is edited in Fusion you have the option to maintain the parametric features when the model is updated back in Autodesk Inventor 2011. Inventor Fusion can be downloaded from http://labs.autodesk.com/. As always there will be time for open discussion.
