CAD covers a multitude of fabrication disciplines as you know.

My company designs, tools, makes and assembles composite, fiberglass, metal and other component structures.

Learn how to CAD a build-able design...learn how to design then build the tooling to MAKE the design: That is the single most difficult issue we have with folks who have learned CAD without practical build experience.

A Side/B Side for tooling, laps, loft, etc., etc. Because it looks good in CAD doesn't mean it can be made.

We have designed a ducted fan UAS (I wish I could show you the CAD) that we sent to our tooling guru in Wisconsin - special tool for the duct, we do most of our own work but this was very complicated in terms of tooling design and tolerances.

My partner, a very experienced CAD guy, was a bit chagrined when the tooling guru found some issues.

Take the journey.
