@dlfpdl what’s the purpose of converting eng drawings cad models? you do realize it’s standard practice to include a step file in docs sent to manufacturers. lol might be better to focus ur time on bettering gd&t functionality

@aiwithmayank bro just discovered freecad

AutoCAD costs $2,030 a year. SolidWorks costs $4,195 a year just for the standard license. Someone open sourced a 3D parametric modeler that does most of what both of them do, and you can install it on Windows, Mac, and Linux for $0. It's called FreeCAD. Sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes, extrude them into parametric 3D models, and edit any parameter in the history tree to update the entire design instantly. Reads and writes STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, OBJ, and IFC out of the box. 28.9K stars. LGPL-2.1. 100% Opensource. freecad.org

@hur_merchant missing out fr

this may genuinely be the worst time to be out of toronto smh 😭🥀

@kevin_jordan__ womp womp dude having lived it for the 21 years i’ve existed i learned you gotta to lean into your strengths. yes there 100% will be hurdles but falling into a pit of “woe is me” has no net benefit to your productivity or life whatsoever.

I wish I didn't have ADHD. I'm tired of ghosting friends I love. I'm tired of starting projects I'll never finish. I'm tired of apologising for things I can't control. Anyone calling this a superpower has never had to live inside it.

@ThaaatColin lemme ask my dad

I just need: 40 investors @ $25K each or 20 investors @ $50k each or 10 investors @ $100k each OR(!) Find 1 severed finger in some pre-packaged food & get a huge hush payment No stone unturned to fund Next.industries

finally, i have spent AGES looking for a shop who could make me this part thank you @ycombinator for funding these companies!!

@mattdykema @67Designs @ycombinator @andrewkornuta half the time these founders haven’t stepped foot on the shop floor. a background in manufacturing or at least adjacent is necessary

These plays usually come from folks who don’t understand subtractive manufacturing. CNC isn’t just “make the shape.” where is your workholding, datums, tool access, stock allowance, rigidity, inspection, tolerance stack-up, and knowing what material has to be removed without creating a nightmare's and burnout on the floor

Autonomous manufacturing sounds great in a pitch deck until it hits the real shop floor. CAD-to-part in one day is not the hard part. The hard part is material certs, fixturing, inspection, tooling, machine availability, revisions, tolerances, operator judgment, and getting a part through quality without babysitting the process. This space is wildly under-practiced by people who have never had a hot job sitting on a machine at 4 PM with a bad setup sheet and a CMM backlog.

@faisal_sayed05 somewhere around here (37.5216499, -118.2153807)

@jafferrrr where is this

to those who told me i can’t lock in at 12000ft, i made it my mission to spite you

need. air.

really wished agents had the ability to restructure legal entities rn

@muhibwqr @hur_merchant this is sacrilege

toronto has so much food diversity that we’re resorting to ragebait

@muhibwqr pr or er

don’t ever doubt a waterloo engineer ever again

@bruce_mcgonigal they don’t understand that to keep these canadians here, massive policy, financial, and infra changes are needed (also our industries lack severely in comparison to the states). you want to keep canadians? show them there’s opportunity here…

The Liberals are pitching the idea of charging Canadian youth $500K if they want to leave Canada to move to the USA. 🙃 Holding Canadian youth hostage is not what a democratic society does.

the lion does not bother naming figma elements

@zanehengsperger a fridge full of celsius

ignored picks and shovels: - pallets - coolant - plastic wrap - labels - propane - calipers and tape measures - safety glasses - gloves - rags - duct tape - grit soap what did i miss

waterloo gotta make more buildings like QNC. Arguably the best looking building on campus.

@demireren_ ac broke so i have no excuse :/

If you're in Waterloo today you have no excuse not to touch grass

@Tekeee entirely dependent on what circles he’s in lmao

My brother is 26. He has: • $55k salary • Lives at home • $8k savings • $20k car loan He feels “behind” Is he?
