What is Inventor?
Inventor is a computer aided design software for creating 2D sketches and 3D objects. It allows the designer to create almost anything they can imagine. From something as simple as a 1 in. x 1 in. cube to a whole assembly of parts, Inventor can make it at the hands of its user.

What I learned...
Inventor coupled with Makerbot allows me to design and create almost anything I can think of. I learned just how important dimensioning and scaling is in both softwares and how if done improperly, your object can either end up too small to be useful or too big to even print. One thing I need to pay more attention to is the difference between Smart Extruder and Smart Extruder+. While it ended up being okay for this project, I need to make sure I'm using Smart Extruder+ in future projects.
