CAD

most of the programs you can find on bit torrent sites but make sure you computer can handle some of them...the software is usually very large and requires a lot of ram and you might be only able to find the student or educational versions but they have almost all features. as far as a library goes most files are easily converted to each program from another but it does not alwasy work...it all depends

Im majoring in engineering/design right now I have used autocad,inventor,and unigraphicsso far its a close descision on ugs or inventor they both have their advantages over eachother. I used inventor for designing my bed frame and wheel wells.

hey speaking of solidworks...what would you guys say is the best way to export drawings to masterCAM, or is a basic autoCAD sketch the best way.

Formula SAE is much cooler than baja, j/k. Its just alot more involved. Plus the average car goes 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Talk about a rush, sitting just 2.5 inches off the ground.

For all you university students out there, if your school has a baja or fsae team, join it. Getting involved in Baja or FSAE is a awesome hands on learning experience plus a major benefit when finding a job. Anyways, just passing some info along.
