Nicee, what CAD do you like the most? 🤔
Currently I'm using a student version of SOLIDWORKS from school, I use to use mastercam at work back in the day too.
Oh, I haven't try mastercam 🤔
I've worked with solidworks at work for some proyecst but mainly AutoCAD
I wanted to dabble in Catia because it's a standard in aerospace in the us
Ohh Is that the industry you aim at right now?
No I can't get a student version, I graduated and my school didn't do Catia. We did all SOLIDWORKS at school. Going from MasterCam to SOLIDWORKS was pretty smooth really. My classmates in the first quarter of the CAD class struggled
I think I might explore Fusion 360 a bit and FreeCAD now that I am not in school. I also want to muck around with TinkerCAD a bit because it's super kid friendly. I have some little family members that are obsessed with 3DPrinting right now, so it might be fun for them to print something they designed.
FreeCAD is 100% worth it for personal and semi-professional use, it is okward to use but once you get to know it is extremely powerfull
Fusion I donct know kut it seems to be super intuitive.
Aww "obsessed with 3D printing" jajaja nice for those little ones!
I was going to try FreeCAD but school was taking all my time, it was put on the back burner. I will get to it eventually, I'm still recovering from the last 2yrs in school.
Dumb question on my part but, can't you just train yourself with a pirate vertion of Catia? 😬👀🤔
I tend to stick with the student/home learning stuff. Student versions get all the updates that the software gets. I am talking with my instructor about getting the student version of Catia in the classroom since it is widely used in aerospace.
I am still active on campus, I help my classmates that haven't graduated yet.
