Boat Design

Let's try to design a boat using Autodesk Inventor. 

First we need some technical details: this boat will have 4 meters length and 1,5 meters width. It will be all built in wood. The shape will be classical, traditional and ergonomic in the same time.
The first component will be the upper part of the skeleton. This will be modeled after drawing the shape. After this comes the bottom skeleton, the one which is the basis of the careen. For this I am using 50,5 mm frames. This skeleton will be reinforced by horizontal sleepers made in the same kind of frames. I will make a little space behind in the way an engine could be placed there. As you may see in the picture above this is how my boat looks like until now.

Autodesk Inventor

Another CAD very used program is Autodesk Inventor. This program is directly competing with Solidworks and Solid Edge. Autodesk is a company which develops AutoCAD and Revit as well. These programs are very well known between designers worldwide.

Solidworks and Inventor are very similar. It is just a matter of choice of the designer to use one or another. In the end, the most important is the result of a designer work. If you're a fan of Star Wars, I bet you will really like the video above. R2D2 is my favorite character in this movie.
