This is a beginners course for Onshape, a freely-available, web-based, 3D, professional-grade CAD system which is superb for a variety of uses including 3D Printing models, 2D CAD drawings for equipment like lasers, plasma and waterjet cutters, and even bendable designs for things like sheet metal and laser-cut acrylic.
We will cover the basics - with an eye on using Inscape to create vector artwork, or cutpaths for use with 2d machines such as lasers, routers, vinyl and plasma cutters and more.
I MPORTANT: Attendees are required to bring their own laptop and it should have a mouse with mouse-wheel (i.e. no trackpads!), and should have created a (free) Onshape account already at:
https://www.onshape.com/en/sign-up
If you do not have a laptop, please contact the instructor ahead of time so one can be made available for you.
