=== UPDATE: We are currently Sold Out for this class! Check out our next weeks class on 3D Printing, and come back in September for our next CAD Class! ===

Always wanted to learn how to 3D model, but never knew where to start? The best way to learn is by working on a project, and August is Nametag month at the Gainesville Hackerspace! In this class we'll learn how to use Onshape, a free, browser-based CAD program to model a nametag, and then follow-up workshops in August will be dedicated to making the nametags using 3D Printing, laser cutting, and CNC routing!

Attendance is open to the public. Hackerspace members have access to the workshop for free. Seats are limited, so RSVP soon!

This is the first class in our new Sunday Class series! Keep checking back for more classes at the Gainesville Hackerspace

About the Gainesville Hackerspace:

The Gainesville Hackerspace provides a physical space where hackers, engineers, scientists, artists, and other creative types can gather to share ideas, equipment, opinions, and even food. We are a community workshop, where members can come and work on projects, use a variety of tools and technology, and learn new skills. More than just a project work space, we aim to share all types of knowledge in a friendly and collaborative environment.

We have Open Houses every Tuesday at 7pm. Come on by and meet some of our members, and feel free to bring a project to work on!
