Worth trying out for the name alone, I Get It<\/a> offers online tutorials in 3D software packages including AutoCAD, Inventor, CATIA, Pro\/ENGINEER, Solidworks, Solid Edge and a few others.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sure, you have to pay for their courses that start at U$95 but more like U$473.96 for a Solidworks Training bundle that includes 106 courses, 21 assessments AND certificates.<\/p>\n

If that is a little too much you can try a free trial<\/a> to see if it is worth the cash outlay for you or your company.<\/p>\n

I managed to get myself a two day subscription at some point when I was studying industrial design and literally watched the tutorials until my eyes bled (not literally) and learnt more about what the possibilities were of the software then how to really do too much.  Even now I just took a quick look and learnt more about testing cogs, gears and pulleys in sketch mode in Solidworks, something I was vaguely aware of but did not Know how to do, but could probably figure it out from the two minute micro tutorial.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 Oh, and what would I do with this new found knowledge of cogs, gears and pulleys?  Maybe 3D print something like Braley Litwin’s Mechanicards<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
