Sometimes I like to
manual drafting was so much fun. i miss the graphite marks on the outside of my palms haha. Its still the basis of how i operate in CAD. its so frustating trying to show people how tyo draft in CAD, who dont have hand drafting education. So much shit that i take for granted, came from those 2 courses.
Drafting I,II and Material Processes I, II were so incredibly formative for me. I have no idea who I would be today without the basis of knowledge that gave me, and for showing me “learning can be fun” as cliche as that sounds. I didn’t even finish my degree, but it made me 100x more curious about the world around me.
oh crazy! i got into this cad work because i used to work in a machine shop haha. I went to school for manufacturing engineering but moved into CNC machinist. used to be pretty good with Mach3 and RhinoCAM haha. Even built a few machines myself. It led me to 3d Printing, naturally, since both share Gcode base language, which i learned in college. I still absolutely LOVE 3d printing. Its the only thing I’m confident saying I’m an expert in, except, i haven’t been paying attention to new machines for a while now.
What kinda work? I moved from electrical to RF systems, mainly CAD plan views of wireless reprating equipment, and equipment wall elevations for installation details. Sometimes I’m in revit coordination big jobs , currently doing MSG Sphere in Vegas. It fucking sucks.
The good news is I manage Department of one, me. Currently
