A Must Take Class for CSWP Users

Michael Stewart

I'm a CSWP and this class has helped me go from a good/average designer to great. Highly recommend it to anyone who's serious about CAD modeling with a purpose.

What's RCM (Resilient CAD Modeling)?

A defined set of rules & best practices for creating robust CAD models.

Seats are limited.

Why should you use RCM?

Spend less time fixing your CAD, and more time designing your product!

  • 1. CAD less likely to break

  • 2. Standard rules the whole team understands & follows (makes inheriting others’ models easier, improves collaboration)

  • 3. Design intent at a glance (convenient, and promotes “seeing” in 3D)

  • 4. Order leads to productivity, compounding affects
