Make sure to check out the speaker roster for our March classes. We continue to build our programs with industry leaders in 3D printing. Our newest speaker for our Beginner Design for 3D Printing course starting March 5, Jason Slingerland, is a quality assurance engineer at Onshape, where he verifies stability and usability of Onshape products and tests sheet metal tools and standard content.
Onshape, which was recently named one of the “50 Start-Ups May Be the Next ‘Unicorns’” by The New York Times, unites modeling tools and design data management in a secure cloud workspace. In Jason’s article on the Onshape blog, “Why I Chose an Engineering Career,” Jason says after experiencing many obstacles and technology limitations in previous roles, his goal at his job is to change the negative connotation around the word CAD for engineers. We’re excited to learn more about Jason’s experience in his session, “How to Prep Your Models for Printing.”
