Course Overview

The Autodesk Inventor: Advanced CAD & Reverse Engineering (Design Automation) course is designed for experienced mechanical designers, design engineers, and manufacturing specialists seeking mastery in advanced 3D modeling and reverse engineering workflows. This comprehensive program prepares candidates for the Autodesk Certified Professional in Inventor for Mechanical Design (ACP) certification, a credential recognized by industry leaders including Boeing, General Motors, and Siemens. With over 600,000 professionals certified globally, Autodesk credentials validate high-level proficiency in solving complex design challenges. This course equips learners with the skills needed to reverse engineer physical components into parametric CAD models and automate repetitive design tasks, addressing a growing industry demand for digital prototyping and retrofitting capabilities in aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery sectors.

Students engage with core Autodesk technologies including Inventor Professional, iLogic for design automation, Vault for data management, and Forge Design Automation for cloud-based workflows. The hands-on lab environment utilizes the Autodesk Desktop App and live-in-the-application (LITA) testing platform, where learners build intelligent, parametric models from 3D scan data using mesh modeling and geometry capturing techniques. A key project involves using Design Automation to programmatically generate a conveyor assembly, applying shaft generators, pattern tools, and bolted connections while integrating reverse-engineered components. Learners also implement iLogic rules to automate part configurations and enforce design standards, simulating real-world scenarios such as retrofitting legacy equipment with modern CAD models and automating bill of materials generation.

This course directly prepares students for the Autodesk Certified Professional in Inventor for Mechanical Design (ACP) exam, a globally recognized credential that validates expertise in complex mechanical design and automation. Certified professionals report a 20-25% salary premium, with the average Inventor Designer earning $68,173 annually in the United States, rising to over $128,000 for mid-career roles. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with 1-on-1 instruction, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and official Autodesk courseware, ensuring personalized support. Graduates gain a competitive edge in roles such as Senior Design Engineer or Automation Specialist, positioned to lead digital transformation initiatives in manufacturing and product development.
