SSCC: Engineering and Computer Science: Resources

Resources for Engineering and Computer Science

Useful Links for Engineering and CAD
How to Print a 3D object using the Z310 printer.
How to set up the workspace in SolidWorks. Note: You may have to scroll down to see the entire screen or to access the animation controls. I forgot to add that you can add text descriptions to your toolbar icons by right clicking on the toolbar and selecting Show Description.
Extrusions in SolidWorks.
Making a coffee cup with SolidWorks. Learn about Revolve, Sweep and Reference Geometry.
