Workshop: CAD for 3D printers.

[Glen]

The 3D printer users group have requested a some more structured meetings, so the 3D printer meeting after next will be a workshop teaching scripted CAD.

The lesson will be aimed at people who want to print machine parts, mounting plates, adaptors, robots, that type of thing.

If anyone can help teach this class I'd be grateful. I'd especially  need someone with experience creating .dxf file with openSCAD.

I've put details up on the London3D website, there's a meetup group where you can sign up. When I've created some teaching material I'll add that to the page.

Looks like my response was last in the aether. Yes please!

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Can do solidworks workshop, not that difficult

You could see if there's intrest in a Solidworks workshop. With a Solidworks licence costing thousands of pounds I'm not sure how many members of the Space would be able to buy a copy.

I was planning on covering: openSCAD, TinkerCAD & Blender, all free software programs.

[oliver greenaway]

I'd be interested in a solidworks workshop.

Glen,

Yes please...

Chris,

Yes please...

I'm more interested in openSCAD, TinkerCAD & Blender though... and as I can actually get those and as such this is more useful to me, no offense

SolidWorks is well beyond my means :\

[Tim Reynolds]

Solidworks is expensive, but so is training in it. If you're not up for
the training, don't sign up for it - no reason for Chris not to run one
if others are.

[Tim Storey]

badly worded on my part, I'd like to do both...

Remember, no CAD-modelling below the belt.

That wasn't part of the offer and I don't agree to it now. Here's an one line openSCAD dildo to show my defiance.

for ( i = [0 : 15 : 150] ){translate([0,(i*i)/500,i+20 ]) color([ 0.0066*i, 0.0066*i, 0.0066*i ]) sphere (r = 20, $fn=90);}

[Tim Storey]

That's it Terrible. I'm gonna 3d model your head. Print it and then smash it. (So then realistically your pretty safe what with my entropy levels)

My OpenSCAD experience is relatively small, but I've done panels of circuit board "sandwich cases" (dxf for laser cutting) and a small (STL for printing) "vacuum pen holder" for a SMT "assembly gantry" (stabilizing platform on rails, basically a manual pick-and-place.  I'm hoping the OpenSCAD part will help, though I need to get it printed yet... the present "cutting board with a hole in it" is rubbish for holding the vacuum pen... 

If there's a way I can help, I'd be glad to do so.

[Jamie Boyle]

I'm really interested in attending any workshops. 

I'm interested not only in learning the skills of modelling objects, but also learning at what stage openSCAD /... isn't sufficient and you'd be better off using Solidworks.

In my previous job I had some experience in manipulating raw DXF, but I'm mostly a CAD novice.

[Glen]

Solidworks keeps track of lots of components and how they relate to each other, it also generates manufacturing paperwork.

OpenSCAD lets you describe a single part with words.

[Roman]

I'm currently looking into openjscad (openscad based on javascript). In theory, you can design parts right in your browser. If anyone interested I can do a small demo.

You might like to try out this I released a few weeks ago: http://www.fabfabbers.com/openscad/

It's OpenSCAD converted to Javascript - so it can do all the hull/minkowski ops.

It also supports asm.js, a strict subset of Javascript which allows for huge optimisations. Firefox Nightly has it, and Google are soon to support it in V8.

Solidworks is not a multi part assembly package, yes it does it perfectly but you can also create sinle parts with intuarive ease and high detail. You can do it like openscad or use surfaces. Im also a silver member with solidworks so can train and have the server version so we can run from terminals.
