3D CAD Essentials – Onshape Edition Information

3D CAD Essentials – Onshape Edition by David Thomazy is a course designed to help you learn 3D modeling using Onshape, a cloud-based CAD platform.

Finally… What if you could learn to create 3D models of all the ideas you think up for your 3D printer?

So you want to learn how to create 3D CAD models of all of your ideas so that you can 3D print them?

Do you have trouble sorting through the hundreds of 3D CAD tutorial videos on Youtube, and don’t know where to start, or what software to use?

If so, then this message is for you.

I’m David Thomazy, creator of CADSessions.com and it’s associated Youtube Channel.

My instructional 3D CAD videos have received over 287,000 views since I started making tutorials, and my viewers have responded with over a 97% favorable rating across the channel.

I want to empower you to turn your ideas into real 3D CAD models.

So you bought a 3D printer, and started printing trinkets and figurines from sites like Thingiverse. Then you started printing all their downloadable functional models, like pencil holders, coat hooks, cell phone stands, coin sorters, earbud cases, etc., etc., etc.

Does this sound familiar?

But after the kool-aid has worn off, you want to make a minor change to someone else’s model to better fit your needs…

Or you want to improve someone else’s design…

Or you want to create your very own design…

What if I tell you that you can learn 3D CAD with professional grade, easy to use software that costs $0 per year. No that’s not a typo.

And it gets better. What if I tell you that you don’t need a computer on steroids to run the software, but that it is 100% browser based?

How is that possible? How can a 3D CAD platform be professional, browser based and FREE?

You might or might not have heard of Solidworks, which is one of the most widespread 3D CAD software tools used by professionals in industry. It’s in the big leagues with Inventor, ProE, Catia.

Well some of the very original founders of Solidworks have banded together and started a new 3D CAD company called Onshape. Onshape now has a very similar feel to Solidworks, but the most exciting difference is that it is cloud and browser-based 3D CAD.

Browser based? – hard to believe, I know! This is because of their cloud centric philosophy. But best of all, for you and me, anyone can create an account and use it for free.

Yes, there is a catch, but not relevant for our purposes: the Free license does not allow you to have private documents. So everything you create is in the public space. But again, for students of CAD, this is a non-issue.

With that objection put to rest, let’s get back to the course…
