Introduction

Hi, I'm Shelby. I'm trying to change things up in my life by learning new skills, particularly those concerned with fabrication and film. My ex got me interested in CNC, and I'd like to keep pursuing it.

How would you rate your expertise and experience using CAD software?

I'm a complete novice. I know what it is, and I know what it's meant to do, but I have never actually used anything like it, outside of Google Sketchup.

What CAD packages have you used?

None. Unfortunately.

Do you have any experience with CAM software packages? Which ones?

No, none of those either.

What CAD/CAM software packages are you interested in learning or improving your proficiency?

AutoCAD, Inventor, Solidworks, various CNC software, anything free and useful.

  • Shelby, you may live a bit distant to become a frequent visitor but you're welcome to come get to know us and use our facilities as much as you'd like. Check out Nova-Labs.org for what we have going on and while there register (it's free) and sign-up for mailing lists you'd be interested in. Then come visit when you can, such as during our Dec 13 Open House. Watch our calendar for classes such as Laser 101 which would give you access privileges to our 100 watt laser cutter. See you at Nova Labs!
