Conclusion
What You Will Learn?
- Learn to design and model furniture with Onshape. This is part 2 of my series on woodworking (Part 1 is here. .
- Aimed at beginners, in this class we build upon the skills learned in my previous classes which focused on the basics of CAD and Onshape (so be sure to check them out, link is below). Now by using those skills, we model a table with a bunch of different joints to explore features that help us model joinery easily. We also use a drawing to optimize our cut list. This is not necessarily a class on how to fabricate the table but we’ll make sure to consider that part while we’re designing. .
- 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.
