Overview of CAD/CAM

[al.whatmough]

I am not sure if this is useful for others or not.  That said, maybe it is a good resource for users new to CAD/CAM.  Who knows, I wanted to share it in case it is.  

In this video, I will give an Overview of CAD/CAM intended for people that are new and want to understand the big picture.  

Full disclosure, I just went for it and recorded, I didn't spend any time doing edits to the video.

Cheers,

Al

Hey Al, thanks for sharing! As someone who has literally zero exposure to the Drawings environment (I live my Fusion life in CAM and a touch of modeling), I learned a few neat things from that video! It's a great video for anyone just starting out in CAM, or even the old curmudgeons like myself who seldom stray out of their comfort zone...

I am glad it was a help.  That means a lot coming from a Super pro like you @seth.madore   I certainly enjoyed stretching my legs a bit and doing a bit of teaching again 🙂

You should probably pin it, because it will disappear today in the flow of posts, that could mostly be answered by this very 1 post!
