Design For Manufacturing With SOLIDWORKS
A workshop on Solidworks and 3D Printing, with the title “Design for Manufacturing with SolidWorks” was organized by AUST Innovation & Design Club, on 30th December 2021. It was a two-and-a-half-hour-long workshop. This was a beginner-friendly workshop to enhance the skill set of the students. It was a great opportunity for the beginners to get the basic ideas on Solidworks and the experience to polish their skills.
