Her name is Jen Davis-Wilson, who we actually realized we have a lot in common with once we talked to her. Our paths have crossed maybe in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, … [Read more...]
CAD Design Help with Scott Tarcy
We have an interview today with Scott Tarcy of CAD Design Help. I love that we’re going to bring in somebody else who has a different CAD design view.

His focus is a little more in the CAD side of things. It’s a bit of a cross section. He’s more of an engineer, actually is a degreed engineer, a mechanical engineer. He has worked inside a … [Read more...]
Blender CAD Software Review

Here we are. Listen to the podcast here: Blender CAD Software Review I … [Read more...]
