I had to take CAD in highschool in I think 2003 and I got done with everything fast so I was messing around in cad and I found some file somewhere deep in the computer. Somebody had taken a picture of our teacher's head and photoshopped it onto a body that was nude except for a speedo or something funny like that. But I didn't know what it was until I applied it as a texture because this was before thumbnails in the windows explorer really and I applied it to this sphere and as soon as I applied the image as a texture, I got to see my teacher showing his photoshopped stuff and he sees the screen and he's like "Where did you find that?!?" and I was trying to turn the sphere to you couldn't see the image but with sphere textures in that program it didn't make any difference so there was this relentless smiling teacher head on a swimsuit speedo body taunting me as I tried to turn it away. Good times.

My first woodworking project, I decided to draft with pencil and paper rather than learn CAD. That was a mistake. On my third redesign, I started to define everything parametricly which helped tremendously, so I was thrilled to discover parametric modeling in CAD when I started learning it for my second project.

There was a joke a few jobs ago that all I knew how to do in SolidWorks is extrude a cylinder and put a hole in it. When I had to do the software validation of the SolidWorks PDM, I decided to lean into my lack of CAD prowess. To test file creation, I had the user create a cylinder and for file editing, I had them put a hole in it. My incompetence will forever live in that software validation report!

ive been learning cad on my own and hearing them complain about the same things that ive had issues with makes me feel happy

Machine embroidery is super fun! Willy, if you ever get your hands on a Jacquard loom, you will probably have so much fun with it- it's a super complicated machine and the software is WILD but making a perfect, complete piece is incredible. I could listen to complaints about textile drafting software all day: Weavepoint, ArahWeave, Chart Minder, Stitch Works, Pixeloom. They're all so janky..

I'm 100% with Nigel about how software companies operate. They love to add features that no one asked for just as some ploy to bring in customers that didn't exist in the first place. Meanwhile they will continue to remove old features that people have been using their software for YEARS just because they claim it's hard to maintain or "no one uses it." Firefox is a great example of the latter. They claim to have user telemetry to show that features aren't being used, but for a browser that touts privacy and user security I bet their oldest and most ardent users don't have telemetry enabled. It drives me wild and I think Nigel nailed it on the head.

Thank you! I’ve been rewatching past episodes trying to find the first time William talked about parametric cad.

As an experienced integrator I would say that Fusion/Inventor are only good for small non-parametric assemblies. If you want a CAD software for big parametric assemblies investing to Catia or NX is a necessity. And as a extra professional tip, we only use axis-systems for constraining assemblies together when the parts grow to be more than 3. Kinematic assemblies are mostly done independently as "per-case studies" with everything else frozen in place.

I do CAD, Creo and SolidWorks, for my job as a Mechanical Designer. The answer to the timeline of features is to re-do stuff correctly after you figure it out. yes. One way to reduce that bad behavior is to make reference locations built with datums and sketches like a skeleton/parent file. This way you can keep your features are independent from each other until the very end. I think you referenced bodies. Bodies in SolidWorks is important for top-down modeling. It's a skeleton setup that you can reference stuff later on to split out. It can work very well that way. I build injection molded parts for grips. They have many A-surfaces for aesthetics that are split out. So you could keep them in a single core skeleton file then split out into components as it is important to keep all the exterior faces continuous even if split between parts. "Top-down modeling" is best practice for making a complete assembly. Start with the overall shape of the assembly, have all the locations in that top file. Branch everything out into sub assemblies and parts downward. You can also use it for your thinking process to dump non-committal data you can easily turn into features back and forth. You could group features after that and suppress whole groups as concepts you can turn on and off. I don't know if SolidWorks has this, but the latest Creo has a way to make timeline forks based on new decisions and also use that for different variations of parts, sub-assemblies, and assemblies. Something much more robust and stable than configurations/family tables. I would buy a SolidWorks license when you can and have reached the free software that is out there. They have community driven features that are endless and they in general are constantly developing new features and improving features more than any other CAD and for professional software the cost is much lower than most. RIP Figma and Figjam. They've been my favorites and their company is full of fantastic people. I really hope they can keep what makes them great still.

I use Davinci Resolve and the features you are missing with the free version are things like GPU acceleration for some things, some effects, some specialized compositing tools etc... Extremely minor things which in most cases you can just work around if you really want. The only problem with Davinci I have is that it has some weird bugs which seem to not have been fixed for a while... Basically, with the free version you can do essentially anything you want, starting from simple editing all the way to color correcting, compositing, tracking etc...

my first CAD softwear was actully minecraft. before I learned any real CAD I used a minecraft server where you could build something out of blocks and enter your email and it would email the file to you when you where done. it was terible but it worked for my first few projects, though they all looked super pixelated.

This is insane but last night I had a dream that I was peeing in a toilet and it was getting to the top and it started auto flushing. I was watching this when I fell asleep. I just realized why I had that dream when I put the episode back on to watch what I missed from falling asleep.

The pickaxe modeling sounds like a voxel design software. But I'm glad to hear CAD discussion since I do a lot of that for a career, but I use PTC (Creo). Enjoy listening to these podcasts while working!

I always use OpenSCAD. If you're comfortable with coding, it's the best. You never have to worry about clicking the right spot or dragging things exactly the right distance or any of that nonsense. You write down the geometry of your part and you're done.

So, my technical graphics teacher, 15 years ago, very contrary to to the curriculum taught never to open up CAD without at least a pencil drawing. Drafting skills are pretty useful. Pencil -> pen -> cad. N Ive found that pretty useful. I've never had a good design from a blank page. But put in some constants (ie; the bucket is 45 cm and can't be closer than 12mm, can't go longer than 3m), you can build out from that. Pencil work is useful.

It's actually extremely depressing how they clamped down on Fusion360. And just in general seeing software be 'cloudified'. Makes me feel physical pain.

oh my god I love cad talk Nigel's experiences are like a sit com haha

In fusion, instead of making something a component to insert it into another file. Just use the derive feature to pull the body from another design.

I’ve been using fusion for months and several small projects and just now learned how to change the viewing angle.

Shitslicer: now you have to individually add each print line and all the stl does is give you a semi clear overlay that you can follow

I like when William talked about his dumpster for a loooong time

LOL the cat in the background to Will's left? I have the Polaroid of that cat on his head. It's epic. Made my entire day getting that😂😂

I've been trying to learn fusion, made a keyboard case in it. Somehow was able to get prototypes from it. I would just hide the bodies before extruding (+/-)... I have still have no clue what I'm doing. I'm an architectural draftsmen that works in revit mainly but I did most of my classes learning 2D drafting in cad. My least favorite thing. Is that most of these programs have almost identical functions at times with tools, but the tool will work in a vastly different way. Or the controls to move arround and work in 3D space are just slightly different. Or one program lets you work in detail while another restricts how small of a detail you can make for an item.

I lived on the Canadian border where the drinking age is 19. So 2 girls (in the front seats) and me in the back seat are coming back from a night of drinking in Niagara Falls, in line for the border check, a few cars from the guard booth, and I've GOT to take a leak. Luckily she had an empty bottle in the front seat she offered me. This is only one, but the most memorable, of the MANY times I've used a bottle. Second most memorable was when I was also on a Bud Cruise in Amsterdam, with no bathroom on the boat. Used a bottle in the back corner, covered by my fiancée. When you got to go, you got to go 🤷‍♂️

The dumpster… It would be a weldment with multiple burnouts or specific fabricated formed parts that would make up their own individual piece mark that would make up that assembly. I do lots of fun little designs that have to be made into construction aids for larger project success. Overall, we sub out most of the engineering, but we have to do a good portion of the fabrication stuff. I feel the pain cuz this structure also directly links into procurement in relation from the engineering bill of materials to the manufacturing bill of materials which can be a muddy water transfer if the drawings are for multiple firms, and the project is quite lengthy

Listening to William complain about solidworks and the gripes and the starting over- oh my god I FELT IT SOOOO MUCH. I haven’t used fusion but god damn I’m just proficient enough in solidworks I’m stuck here for a while until I have more time to learn other CADs.

I just finished a massive project with hundreds of joints in Fusion360 and I will say that my next project will probably be in Solidworks. Fusion is very capable, and the joints worked great, but I know from experience that mates in solidworks are significantly easier

I decided to listen to the latest episode to take a break from banging my head against a wall trying to select the right CAD software 😂 Glad I did though, this podcast made more sence than the guides!

I love you Nigel!

For subtracting one mesh from another... MS 3D Builder works pretty well, is free, and it's possible it's already on your machine (used to come with Windows)

joints are constraints, they're the 3d ones; one's a rigid joint that sticks bodies together like a magnet, or at a screw point, but you can also go and mark every body passive (i think they are by default? it's been a while) it's conceptually nice to call them something else, they're just called constraints (sometimes "for assembly") in other packages, but they don't act like sketch constraints, especially if you want no degrees of freedom, having a different name helps a little

When a friend bought a second hand Janome embroidery machine a few years ago she freaked out when I showed her her how much useful software would cost. I was able to find specs on the .jeh file format the machine used and started writing my own software for it. I had worked out a lot of the details and was able to create some simple shapes when she gave up and sold the machine. My plan was to create an svg to jeh converter.

I like how you discovered the sculpt tool for blender without realizing it

I started CAD with fusion 360. To me Joints in Fusion make perfect sense. You only have to add degrees of freedom that you want to have in the design. In my opinion, it is way faster than removing degrees of freedom (Again, can be subjective).

This is a good podcast to watch in the background 😁👍

I love your movies

For will, I'm not sure if you're familiar with it but I think Creo Parametric might be the CAD program you're looking for. It has a free version for students, if you can't get it yourself then I can help you out.

the end was great

natron is some neat open source compositing software, used by some really big names too; it does a lot and looks intimidating but 1000% recommend getting it and just fooling around

God i love the cad discussion, i gotta get into fusion sometime

i really like the CAD talk btw

Blender feels like having free clean water at will.

It would be cool if Will tried using the video editor in Blender, then gave them constructive criticism. Kinda feels like that feature is being a bit neglected. I'm probably wrong though, being a newb.

tbh i'd recommend blender if what you're starting out with is an STL. Like 3 steps to boolean your positive out of a cube. ;3. Depends on the complexity of the model though, ofc.

1:15 Nigel must’ve forgotten his urea video already

I do a lot of 3d modelling but I have not been able to find a CAD program I can get along with. Edit: I hate that I have to pay adobe £16 a month to use substance painter, I'm really hoping some of the open source alternatives make some big advancements soon

Hey someone did kind of do the software funding thing you were talking about it, the organization is called FUTO and they support open source software.

I use inventor, for me it seems like it's the best. maybe it's just because it is the one I picked to learn and got the best with. The thing is with every CAD software, is that gmail addresses are free and they don't check your log in IP or something, you can literally just make infinite free trial accounts of anything

Sounds like you're looking for a voxel editor. Many such things already exist, though I'm not sure about .stl export.

also listening to william rant about fusion is very satisfying lol

Kevin nailed it with MineCad

They have RETURNED

There's a workaround in fusion360 I've found about the constraints not letting you do actions. If you just copy the part doesn't care and let's you do whatever

That last 1/5th of the podcast where you were talking about adobe... I was honestly shocked to hear that you pay for it, why would you? The cracked versions come with a suite of user friendly changes, folders for example. It would be like using youtube premium over youtube vanced.

FYI there actually is a voxel modeling software out there! it's called MagicaVoxel! I don't remember if it has stl, but I believe it does have .obj at least.

CAD goggles screwed us over hard when setting up automated assembly lines. The engineers in the office designed everything with collision notifications turned off. They'd give us work-flow specs that would predict 5 minute production times, but those times were only achievable because they had the robots trying to move through solid objects. By the time we had fixed the programs so that the robots wouldn't be breaking themselves and everything around them, the production time had tripled. And then management got angry at US for not meeting the predicted time that had been promised to the client based on the shitty CAD designs. I quit that job.

14:20 - car that need a tire removed to reach battery is the Dodge Stratus late 90s.

Liking Nigel's hair these days, ngl.☺️

So, I'm a software dev and I worked on things that no one heard of ;) The smaller the audience the bigger per-unit cost, with the extreme being "bespoke software", i.e. it's custom-made for the customer, and a cost of e.g. "A website with publishing options and some business stuff" can be easily counted in hundreds of thousands of dollars at the lower end - and it's for essentially a single copy (because the customer usually has full or partial copyright). While there are millions of GTA5 players there are probably what, hundreds of thousands of users of a particular device you need software for? And that's generous - some industries have more standardized protocols than others ;)

I feel that I am lucky as an electrical engineering the most CAD I've had to do is making 2D schematics. The more I hear about these softwares the more I realize how complex and messed up they are.

Sounds like Nigel needs to use 3d builder

You may be talking crap about Peter, but a lot of aerospace and automobile companies design using master modeling techniques. Aka everything is designed off of the same coordinate system so that you don’t have any mates in your assembly. And it’s designed as a bunch of bodies instead of components. Don’t agree with it, but they do it.

Nigel's brother lookin sharp 👌🏽

wasn’t expecting you were gonna talk about cad the whole time from the title

Before Nigel interrupted you Will you were saying there's a car with a battery behind the fender in the tire well, it's a Chrysler Sebring. Which I had to change right before mine died on me.

Autodesk Inventor is the original CAD package they put out. It's like Fusion but doesn't suck. Literally, Fusion is just a watered-down and confusing version of it.

p.s. a body is basically a wild component that hasn't been caught yet. You could have a component with physically separated bodies, but that's nonsense in a real-world sense. If you right-click a wild body in Fusion, you can make it a component.

Id love to hear more about embroidery tbh

If you have the adope suite, Inventor takes away allot of headaches

have you guys ever used sketchup?

SOLIDWORKS physical dynamics is amazing for testing mechanical parts. Assemblies and joints in fusion ruin any complex designs for me.

I'd bet the biggest hurdle after cost in making software that is really competitive with Adobe, Autodesk, etc would be dodging patents.

You can import a stl and then convert it to a body. But if the stl is complex... Yeah...
