INVENTOR AND 3D PRINTING
What is Inventor?
Inventor is a software on a computer where ideas become reality. Inventor is a software where you can draw and extrude different types of shapes and then transfer that file to a USB drive. Shapes isn't all inventor can do though, inventor has access do different dimensions, so your shapes can be 3D. Speaking of 3D, once you have your file on a USB drive you can plug it in into a 3D printer. Then your drawing will no longer be on a computer screen. It's in real life.

Now our widget looks like this, but we aren't done. We still have to cut out some stuff and add stuff.
Step 11: Select start 2D sketch again and click on the top face. Then draw out a simple rectangle starting at the top of the face and draw about halfway down the face

Now our widget has that cutout at the top but we aren't quite done with the top yet.

Now our widget looks like this. We are almost done just one more cutout to go!
