This FREE entry level class offered by Kauai Makerspace through Kapaa Public Library explores the free, cloud-based OnShape CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.  This group meets on the first Tuesday each month (until February 2018) to learn the software and discuss projects.

Taught by retired aerospace engineer, Richard O’Reilly, participants learn how to draw two dimension sketches and create 3D models.  You will gain the ability to make your own drawings and materials lists quickly and easily for anything from a bird house or wood shed to whatever you can imagine.  This class will also give you the know-how to create your own models for 3D printing.

This is an entry level class designed to be accessible to anyone who has basic familiarity with web browsing and concepts used in word processing, spreadsheets, presentation / desktop publishing and simple graphics programs.

Class requirements:

  • Please bring your own Wi-Fi enabled personal laptop computer with Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox pre-installed.
  • Please have your own valid Hawaii State Public Library System library card.
  • Bring a notepad and pen.

Program schedule is subject to change.  Contact the library 15 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.
