North End Makerspace

This week's Engineering Lab will cover CAD for 3D Printing. Free and open to the public.

We will learn the basics of mechanical CAD software for 3D printing functional objects. You don't need any prior CAD or 3D printing knowledge. The class will use OnShape as the CAD tool, but the concepts are similar to other tools like Fusion 360.

Requirements:
Any laptop, tablet, chromebook, etc. as long as you have a keyboard and mouse. Onshape.com runs in your browser and is free for hobbyist use!

Topics Covered:
CAD Basics (going from sketch to 3D object)
Measuring objects in the real world
Tolerances for 3D printing
Threads
Living Hinges (fold your 3D printed things!)
Collets

Boxes were made! Learning about the online box maker festi.info/boxes.py
