Today's CAD Students, today's, not tomorrow's, entrepreneurs

I truly love teaching CAD at Palomar College, San Marcos, CA. I dig being around people that have a shared passion for all things CAD, mechanical things, and ideas about changing our world for the better.

Above is a photo of one of my students. He came up with an idea to create a small inexpensive hydroponic container. He modeled the idea using SW CAD and printed it on his own 3D printer at home. Amazing! Now he's in the process of gathering data about how the container works, if it needs iteration, etc. Note that a "Drawing" was not required up to this point in his project, cool!

The world is changing. I hope the new world of low cost CAD, Onshape and others, low cost 3D printers, and low cost CAM will enable anyone to change our world for the better.

Hang on to your hats, it's an "E ticket" ride.

Cheers,
