What is Inventor?
Inventor is a design application used for 3D design and visualization. It's a tool that helps students plan and visualize something they are going to build. In the app itself, the user can create 2-dimensional objects with certain measurements, and then extrude them to make them 3-dimensional.

Summary
I learned a lot from this introduction to Inventor and 3D printing. I learned that there are tons of programs people can use to model anything that comes to mind. People can 3D print practical or useful things, or they can print things that look cool. I also learned how to use a filament printer, which was actually a streamlined process for the most part. Altogether, I think 3D printing is both easy to learn and fun to use for anyone interested in modeling and building things.
