Q. How do I learn software skills to prepare for projects in the FabLab?

Digital Fabrication technologies can help you make just about anything, but only if you have the right type of file to feed into the system. Every machine will have specific preferences for how the file needs to be prepared, but the core logic of how to use vector design software is the same for a wide variety of the tools we offer access to in the FabLab. Learning to use software like Adobe Illustrator, Solidworks, or Fusion 360 will take some time, but is a crucially empowering step towards putting your imagination into the real world.

You can always come into the FabLab anytime we are open and ask our student staff for help preparing your files.

For those looking for a deep dive into learning software, LinkedIn Learning provides a wonderful platform for brand-new beginners and savvy, experienced users alike.
You can access LinkedIn Learning through our campus subscription: https://lnkd.in/gRff2Zk

Bonus: create a free LinkedIn profile (or connect your existing LinkedIn profile to your new LinkedIn Learning account) and all your completed trainings will post a certificate of completion on your LinkedIn page so you can show off your skills to potential employers!
