Your Workshop
Open the CAD app for the first time - learn to orbit, zoom, and find every tool you'll need.
Start Module →Five phases, fifteen modules. Each builds on the last until you've got a real robot gearbox.
Learn the tools and start reading blueprints
Turn sketches into solid 3D objects
Constraints, dimensions, and fully constrained sketches. The foundation of precise modeling.
Start Module →Extrude, revolve, and sweep patterns. Take your flat sketches and make them real volumes.
Start Module →Round sharp edges, hollow out shells, cut patterns, and mirror features to polish your parts.
Start Module →Assemble moving systems that actually work
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 gears, worm drives, linkages, cams, and the drivetrains that make robots move.
Start Module →Advanced modeling and stunning visuals
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 →Manufacture, document, and final build
Design for 3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, and sheet metal - so your parts come off the machine right.
Start Module →File naming, version control, team collaboration - the habits that separate hobbyists from professionals.
Start Module →Run stress tests, find weak points with FEA, and let generative design create shapes you'd never imagine.
Start Module →Design every gear, model the housing, assemble the full system, and prove it's ready to manufacture.
