Messin' Around with 3D Modeling

[Mosley]

Got a program that I used in our Vocational Technologies School while in High School, I went for Mechanical Engineering and am Certified by the State of Pennsylvania! It's AutoDESK Inventor 2010. While not the newest, it is like Microsoft Office Word, they only change how it looks not how it functions! Pretty Sweet Program! Here was my stab at a Mil-spec Picatinny Rail!

You should try pro engineer, or creo parametric. Thats what theyre calling it now. We use it in the MET program in which I am enrolled, pretty fun stuff.

in the machining world solid works is a pretty good program to know.

+1 on proE or solid works.
solid works if done correctly will work direct with the CNC.

I worked with Lockheed Martin to build a Battle Bot to fight other Vo-techs around PA at CALU. We messed with Solid Works and they showed us their old ProE they still had installed. Pretty sure it was the 1st edition haha.

I was taught to use AutoDESK Inventor for 4 years so I am pretty comfortable with it!

As for where in PA I am, I'm in Ebensburg, PA. 35 minutes outside of Johnstown or Hollidaysburg.

Anyone have any further measurements or anything to add to this? It's a mount for a M4 PG
