Hi everyone, welcome to a Shapr3D tutorial. My name is Andrew Cameradella. I'm an industrial design consultant and faculty member at DePaul University. As a design consultant, I specialize in digital manufacturing, prototype development, and design for manufacture. I help clients develop physical products by implementing 3D technologies and developing prototypes to gain insight in the design process while bringing products to market. Along with CAD software,

I use a variety of input tools like 3D scanners and fabrication tools such as 3D printers and CNC machines. In this course, we're going to work directly with an existing model of a lamp. We'll make adjustments to various parts to improve manufacturability, and consider a variety of low volume production techniques. We'll also model some simple fixtures that can be fabricated to form and process key components to their final shape. We'll be focusing on sketch and solid modeling basics,
