For your enjoyment I am going to be posting the links to a web series I am creating as part of my job for TPM of Charlotte, NC. TPM is a technological solutions company that provides services to the engineering and design community and we are featuring the team and how 3D manufacturing technology and robotics go hand in hand.
This series is geared for SOLIDWORKS users, robotics enthusiasts, practicing engineers, and students alike but can most certainly be applied to any CAD platform of your choosing.
This series is focused on getting your ideas to the prototype and manufacturing phase quickly and will feature several ideas on how to do just that using a given tool whether it is 3D printing, CAD, or FEA Simulation.
The first series features a roller claw prototype and how it can be scaled and placed in CAD with minimal measurement. Our team is driven by students and everything you see is 100% mentor hands off and created by high school students. For the SOLIDWORKS users, please check out the other help tip videos we post on the TPM Solutions YouTube page as well!

Please give me input! I will be posting a few of these plus hosting webinars for these topics and I would love to have you guys request some things for your community!
