Here is a list of the resources we recommend to getting started designing killer autonomous submarines and boats:
CAD: Computer Aided Manufacturing is the software where we create 3D models of parts and assemblies. Here is the webpage of Prof. Crane, one of our advisors, where he teaches Solidworks, the CAD software we use. If you need help installing Solidworks talk to any mechanical member in the lab.
Design Resources: The Design and Manufacturing Lab (DML) website has a ton of resources. Feel free to navigate through the website and learn anything you find interesting. Recommended read in the website: -Design for Manufacturability, specifically DFM examples -The course video, to learn the common manufacturing process available in UF -Facility Safe NOTE: a senior member of the lab must be present if you want to use machinery -Solidwork & Lab resources
CNC: Watch these two videos made by Daniel Prestridge, ex-CIMAR, about CNC Setup and extra info
