With over 10 years of experience using Autodesk Products, Jesse considers learning the best way to build confidence and a brighter future. He has worked on many different levels of land development and survey projects, from hospitals to highways, rivers to residential, schools to subdivisions. As a Civil Designer, he developed skills in Civil 3D, Land Desktop Development (LDT), Map 3D, Raster Design, and Survey. After returning to school and obtaining his Associates Degree in Architectural Design, Jesse was employed by a consulting engineering firm as a Technical Civil Engineering Designer. First introduced to Autodesk products in 1997, he became State certified and began using R14 in the manufacturing industry to design parts for Boeing airplanes.
He has his associate’s degree in Architectural Design, a certification in AutoCAD Release 14 (R14), and is also a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP). Jesse specializes in Infrastructure (Civil/GIS) as a Synergis Solutions Engineer, and brings a spectrum of industry experience with him to Synergis. Hope this helps!

You can only print 3D solids and watertight meshes.
Provide a saving location and define the Object Name, click “Save.” STL is a Lithograph file type and is used by the service providers. Once the object is selected, modify the scale if needed and click “OK”. Select the 3D Solids and Watertight Meshes Then in the drawing area, select the 3D solid or watertight mesh. Select the Output Tab and click “Send to 3D Print Service”ģ. If you do not, your prototype may be a solid, non-moving object. Models with a large mass connected to a thin stem may:īefore you print your model, be sure that there is enough clearance between moving parts such as the following: **Please check with the service provider for a detailed list of shell and wall requirements Structural Problems *Watertight – A closed 3D solid or mesh that has no gaps. First, shell and wall thickness must meet the minimum requirements. Before you print your model, it may be necessary make adjustments to the model. Only 3D solids and watertight* meshes are 3D printable. And here are the final steps to complete the process.
Once you have the model created, 3D printing is a simple process of ordering a part online or purchasing a 3D printer.
Synergis can help you in both these areas with the needed software and training. Second, you need the knowledge of 3D modeling. But how do they work? Is it difficult? What do I need? The first piece you need is a current version of AutoCAD. I have seen these crazy machines with my own eyes. The rumors, the stories – astronauts are printing tools in space.
