Join DPRG on August 24, 2024, 10:00AM CDT, at the Dallas Maker Space for dual presentations highlighting two perspectives on how to get kickstarted into learning computer aided design, CAD. Learning CAD can be daunting, and beginners are often overwhelmed. Presenters Jon Hylands and Doug Paradis will show two approaches using different CAD programs: onshape, an excellent web-based CAD program, and DesignSpark Mechanical, a simplified version of SpaceClaim Engineer.
Both presenters will be stressing “How do you get started?”.
The presentations will use a simple pendulum example proposed by Paul Bouchier and follow up with a slightly more complex bumper design. Again, overcoming the hurdle of getting started and the mindset used versus the mechanics of the programs will be the emphasis of the talks.
This is a great opportunity to finally figure out how to get started in CAD and meet others with similar interests. Pizza will be served at the meeting.
Note: If you want to follow along with the presentations you should have an account with both onshape and DesignSpark, and have the free version of DesignSpark Mechanical loaded on your computer.

Join DPRG on July 27, 2024, 10:00AM CDT at the Dallas Maker Space for a Swap Meet and social gathering. There will be no presentation this month, however there will be pizza. Members are encouraged to use this opportunity to socialize with other members and guests, and to dig deep into their hoard of robotic parts and offer them for swapping. This is a great opportunity to get to know other members better, prove that you aren’t really a hoarder (you just like shiny), and maybe pick up something interesting.
