Introduction to Solid Modeling

Have you ever wanted to realize your ideas in digital 3D space but didn't know where to start? Take this 2-hour introductory level workshop and you will get acclimated to SOLDWORKS 2017 while learning the building blocks of computer aid design.

In this workshop we will cover:

• Overview of the software interface and basic CAD terminology.
• Learn how to break apart a 3D idea into a basic 2D sketch.
• Understand extrusions while taking your 2D sketch into the 3rd dimension.

* Tools and features covered in this course can also be used to create design files for the 3D printers, CNC routers and laser cutter provided to maker members at the make717 innovation Center.

You must be an activate Maker member or a Social Maker holding a library STEMPass to attend this event. You will not be given entry to the make717 Innovation Center without your Maker member door access card or the library STEMPass.
