Re: Getting kid excited about CAD

Students need to understand that in industry, nothing is built with "hammers and hack saws." It's all built for mass production, by very precise computer-controlled machinery. Developing the commands that move that machinery is a process that begins with a CAD model.

If you really want to show the value of CAD, consider getting some kind of automated machine (3D printer, CNC router, etc) that creates objects based on CAD designs.
