Inventor/ 3D Printing
What is Inventor?
Inventor is a computer software that allows users to draw widgets and items then print them in 3D. However, before printing users have to take the Inventor file and convert it to a STL file. The STL file acts as a translator between Inventor and Makerbot. Makerbot is the next software you open up, and this makes sure that what you print fits in the printer. It can also tell you some interesting facts like how long the print will take. Next, users download it to a flash drive, put the flash drive in the 3D printer. After a few clicks the printer is printing away.
