What You Will Learn?

  • Learn to design and model furniture with Onshape. Aimed at beginners, in this class we build upon the skills learned in my first two classes which focused on the basics of CAD. Now by using those skills, we model a coffee table and make a drawing to help us in the workshop! This is not necessarily a woodworking class so we won’t be touching much on how to fabricate the table but we’ll make sure to consider that part while we’re designing. This is the first of a series of woodworking focused lessons so hop in and enjoy! Part 2 of the woodworking series is here.
  • Onshape is free for hobbyists, makers and students. It's also cloud-based so there is nothing to download or install and it only requires a decent internet connection so no need for a powerful computer. Make an account here : https://www.onshape.com/en/products/free.
