Your Workshop
Open the CAD app for the first time - learn to orbit, zoom, and find every tool you'll need.
Start Module →Open the CAD app for the first time - learn to orbit, zoom, and find every tool you'll need.
Start Module →Decode orthographic views and dimensions - the language every engineering drawing is written in.
Start Module →Cut parts open with section views, read GD&T tolerance symbols, and decode the bill of materials.
Start Module →Constraints, dimensions, and fully constrained sketches - the foundation of precise modeling.
Start Module →Turn flat sketches into solid 3D mass using the two core feature tools: extrude and revolve.
Start Module →Push shapes along curved paths with sweep, or blend between different profiles with loft.
Start Module →Round or bevel edges, then copy features fast with patterns and mirrors.
Start Module →Combine, cut, and hollow out solids to turn blocks into finished enclosures.
Start Module →Pick the right materials, set tolerances, and design chassis plates and brackets that survive the arena.
Start Module →Connect parts with joints, learn about degrees of freedom, and check for interference.
Start Module →Spur, bevel, worm and planetary gears - how teeth and ratios trade speed for torque.
Start Module →Tank, mecanum, swerve, and omni - pick the drivetrain that matches how your robot needs to move.
Start Module →Four-bar linkages and shaped cams - the mechanisms behind launchers, lifts, and grippers.
Start Module →Name your dimensions, link them with equations, and watch one change ripple through the whole design.
Start Module →Go beyond boxes - loft, sweep, and sculpt the smooth, organic shapes that make a robot look professional.
Start Module →Apply real materials, set up studio lighting, and render images so good people think you built it already.
Start Module →FDM, resin, and SLS - design your parts so they print reliably the first time.
Start Module →CNC milling, laser cutting, and sheet-metal bending - design so the machine can actually make it.
Start Module →File naming, version control, team collaboration - the habits that separate hobbyists from professionals.
Start Module →Run finite-element stress tests, read safety factors, and find weak points before you build.
Start Module →Design every gear, model the housing, assemble the full system, and prove it's ready to manufacture.
Start Module →The course finishes with a complete two-stage reduction: every gear modeled, every shaft toleranced, every fastener placed, and a full drawing pack ready for machinists.
Drivetrains, lift mechanisms, fast iteration in a six-week build season.
Compact arms, scoring mechanisms, and 3D-printed parts that actually print.
Structured kits, custom brackets, and the geometry to fit existing parts.
Weapon systems, armor plates, and parts engineered to take a hit.
