Resources for Students

Many of the software packages we have available for use also have online tutorials to help students learn them.  While these tutorials do not always show how to completely use all of the features of the particular software package, they do provide students with basic skills. Below are links to those resources.

• SolidWorks Tutorials
• VisualMILL Tutorials
• VisualMILL does not come installed with a tool list.  A initial tool list is located here (9KB) .  This file can be imported into VisualMILL.
