To design 3D model of your Metal work project you will be using Onshape, it is a professional-grade, cloud-based Computer-Aided Design (CAD) platform that students and teachers can access for FREE on any device, anywhere, anytime. Computer-aided design is the use of computers to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.
