Designing Parts in SolidWorks

 

Use SolidWorks to turn your dreams into reality.  Or, as an alternative to Solidworks, the ITL also has other 2-D and 3-D modeling software applications including MasterCAM, AutoCAD, and CorelDraw.  When ready to prototype a designed part, you may use one of our computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) machines:

• CNC (computer numerically controlled): A manufacturing machine with computer-controlled or programmed instructions,
• Laser cutter: A machine that uses a laser to cut the material,
• Rapid prototyping machine: A machine that creates 3-D prototypes of a part somewhat "rapidly" compared to a CNC mill.

Free CAD Help

Free CAD teaching assistance are available to help engineering students and instructors with SolidWorks.  Please see the schedule below for times when help is available.
