Summary Of inventor/3-D Printing
What I learned from Inventor and 3-d Printing is how I can create 3-Dimensional using the Inventor Software on Microsoft, also I learned how to extrude and cut parts out of a 2-Dimensional object to then make it a 3-Dimensional. I also now how to use a 3-D printer now which is really cool and not a lot of people are able to use the technology that we have.
