Partnership Enhances MasterGraphics' Educational Services

July 30, 2007 - Madison, Wis. - MasterGraphics, design process experts and a leading Midwest supplier of design data solutions to the manufacturing, education, building and civil engineering industries, has partnered with 4D Technologies to offer the Autodesk Inventor® 2008 Tutorial Series streaming online or on DVD.

Through this innovative strategic partnership, MasterGraphics allows their clients to receive a complete 127 lesson, 14-hour introduction to Autodesk® Inventor 2008 online or on DVD. Combining these video tutorials with instructor-led training furthermore creates a blended learning environment that can enhance the classroom experience: students can watch tutorials in preparation for face-to-face training, or they can review them afterward to reinforce concepts covered in class. This blended learning enhances the classroom experience and helps ensure that users get the maximum return on their software investment.

The Autodesk® Inventor 2008 Tutorial Series is led by Daniel Banach, MasterGraphics' Director of Professional Learning, and walks viewers through menu and tool layouts, styles and projects. In-depth chapters focus on Sketch, Constraining, Dimensioning, Advanced Part Modeling Techniques, Design Automation Techniques, Sheet Metal and much more. The stand alone video tutorials do not use or require Autodesk® Inventor Tutorial Services.

"The online and DVD learning options expand our already strong training capabilities," said Mark Lackovic, VP of Operations for MasterGraphics. "We pride ourselves on being an industry leader with a strong reputation in professional learning and training, and this strategic partnership is proof that we are maintaining our ability not only to serve our clients with the most flexible solutions available, but to give them proper instruction to fully utilize the tools we provide them."
