In honor of becoming robots, I present this course on ‘how to build robots.’ This is a product design program, which takes you from learning CAD, through choosing materials and designing a product, to a final working design all on professional and free programs.

The Course

At Home Engineering The Course has helped thousands

of people worldwide to learn CAD and product design.

After joining this program, you will be able to make custom parts from almost any material, including metal, plastic, ceramic, and composites, enhancing you through tools and knowledge. Using modern, professional, and free tools, I bring together the best of the internet to get you designing and building in 2021.

This is the place to learn CAD, product design, and engineering fundamentals. I’ll work with you personally. I have 8 years of experience designing and building in industry and research; I hold a Masters of Science in mechanical engineering from the U of MN. I was a mechanical engineer at Google [X], and I’ve worked with multiple world-leading researchers in technology.

You’ll Learn:

-CAD from the ground up. What CAD program to use, the 4 methods to draw any part in 3D, and how to bring your product to motion in CAD.

-Simplified materials: How to choose materials for your designs, whether a metal, plastic, ceramic, or composite — AND when to choose them.

-The 6 manufacturing methods to produce any part. You’ll learn programs and websites to get your parts made. With these 6, command real parts from your computer to your door.

-How to produce quality 3D images through rendering which can be used for marketing.

-Design a product. I take you from idea to final product, step-by-step.

Check out the outline below.
