What is Inventor?
Inventor is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) program, where you can create 3-D objects. You start out by making a 2-D sketch. Then you take that sketch and extrude it to make it 3-D.
We used Inventor to create our widgets. Then we took the file and put it into MakerBot which is the program that we use to 3-D print.

During this project I learned how to create a part on inventor. I also learned about what the 3D printer can create. I learned how to put my file from inventor into the software Makerbot so that I could print my part on the 3D printer.
