Thread: Adding a new page---to my web page

Tweet

This whole teaching thing has proven so successfull that I am having the web page Gods add a new "page" to my website www.rupnowdesign.com


I am available to come to your engineering office and give instruction in "3D modeling for Mechanical design". This 56 hour course will be broken into seven 8 hour days, and will cover the creation of "parts", "assemblies", and of 2D mechanical shop drawings. It will fully cover the creation of sketch geometry, and extrusion of the sketch geometry to create "solids models". It will show how to combine these individual "part models" into "assemblies", and cover the appropriate "mates" to attach these individual parts in the correct relationship to each other. The course will show how to automatically generate 2D drawings of the "part" or "assembly" files, and how to automatically create "Bills of Material" in the drawings.
This is an interactive course, and I have a state of the art lap top computer and a projector so that as I am teaching groups of from 2 to 30 people, the images can be projected onto a blank wall or a screen. Trainees will be shown the appropriate commands, and will then build the actual "parts", assemblies" or 2D drawings on their own computers under my personal instruction.
This is not a course on "mechanical draughting", but is for people who want to move from a draughting board or from a 2D cad package into the world of solid modeling. Anyone who takes this course is expected to have a good basic knowledge of accepted draughting practices prior to taking it.
I have received excellent reviews on this course from those who have taken it, and have been called back to "repeat customers" who are constantly bringing new people on board in their offices and want them trained to be proficient in this software. I have even had companies bring in their employees from the United Kingdom to receive this course, so that their engineers and designers in Canada would be working from the same "knowledge base"
I can give "one on one" instruction to an individual employee, or teach an entire classroom full of people---the price does not change.
This course will only be given in Solidworks, as it is the software with which I am most proficient.
Anyone who wishes to take this course must have the software installed on their own computers---I do not provide the software.
Hourly rates are the same as the rates which I charge for mechanical designwork.

Is this hot rod related???? Well, uh, no not really!!!!! ---But it can be----

Crazy idea - could that body model be broken into a 'parts' list with engineered specs such that a person could build it from flat metal?

Obviously some of the complex shapes may have to be done in a metal shop.

SBC--Yes, theoretically it could be, if I had modelled it that way. When I modelled the body, I was going for illustration purposes only, so the entire body is modelled as one peice, which would be impossible to do in metal. If a person was actually going to model it so that it could be built from metal, then it would have to be modelled in as many pieces as a real roadster, and then the individual pieces would have to be "assembled" in a cad file to create the model. The reality is that even a competent metal shop would find it almost impossible to create the compound curves found in most pieces of a roadster body from flat sheet stock. Those pieces are stamped from flat stock using a multi ton press and steel male and female dies.

Brian even i have learned from you and you posts.



The smallest stamping press we have at work is a 600 ton . The largest is a 3000 ton this one will stamp some real heavy metal .
