My question is, is there any one out there that has models of engines that would like to have a 2D print made from them.
A little about myself, I am a recent graduate of college where I learned about machining. It was a two year program, first year manual machines/second year CNC. During that time I learned how to use Solidworks 3D and thought that it was the best program that I have ever used for computers(drafting related). I built models of a LME-370 "PIP" model airplane engine. Now I work for a CNC manufacturing company that does not use 3D models because we make mostly lathe parts and the machines (Mazzak) have great tools built into the controller. I want to keep my drafting skills from getting rusty in case I decide to move to a different company. While Solidworks might be out of my price range for a while I was looking at Alibre Design for a substitute.
My goal for the future is to have some personal machines that I can make stuff of my own like model engines, small parts and maybe the occasional firearm.
