I swear I have learned so much from hpa's courses and webinars I have completed all of the efi tuning courses, minus the ecu specific ones, almost all of the wiring courses and all of the engine building courses. Money well spent if you ask me and they can break up the payments so it's an easy subscription. I'm always looking forward to hpa's new content.
Cheers for the support mate and stoked that we can be part of and help with your learning journey! HPA has certainly grown a lot in the last few years with the range of topics covered and we have so much more we're trying to get out there for you guys too so I hope we can help you more and more in years to come 😎 - Taz.
I use OnShape all the time. Bringing a CNC machine in house I've since switched to Fusion but still find myself using onshape since I'm more familiar with it.
Really interesting. I'm a CATIA user with more years on it than I'd care to admit and have been using NX for the last few years. I've had a play with Fusion never used on shape. When selecting a CAD system to use the key for me is features and learning curve. All CAD systems I've ever used can do solid modelling really well. The more expensive systems are very well suited to long technical projects that require the ultimate flexibility, finest detail, and large assemblies. They have lots of expensive modules you can purchase on top of the very expensive base cost but are they the right tool for YOUR company/project? Personally if I was modelling a rolecage or front hub carrier for a Motorsport car it would be 100% overkill and the job could easily get done in 360 etc. Someone will base a software recommendation on experiences they have had. I would always default to NX/CATIA because I know how they model inside out and I would get the job done far quicker but would it be appropriate for a small shop or individual? Great videos!
We agree although Fusion is pretty widely used in the motorsport industry now too, it's been 10 years since release at it has come a long way in that time! As yo say it really depends on what the user, commercial or private, wants and needs. We do think it's a no brainer to start with platforms like Fusion and Onshape that have such low barriers to entry, and unless you find a specific reason they no longer work for you as you and your projects progress they could also well be all you ever need. You can apply the same logic that you do to physical tools you kit yourself out with really - Taz.
The most important thing is that you are doing something in the best option you have available to you for your requirements rather than stressing that you can't learn using a more commercially geared option like SOLIDWORKS, Creo or Catia etc., noting SOLIDWORKS Maker is their stab at a Fusion 360 style option. I think some people get a bit fixated on software options once they have forgotten how little they actually knew when starting out and how long it took them before they were limited by anything. - Taz.
Connor is a bit of an Onshape fan but he hasn't had to use it professionally so we haven't run into any issues yet at a hobbyist user level, if that makes sense. Sorry that hasn't been the case for you noting you do have other options out there and they are all getting better and better as time goes on compared to not all that long ago 😎 - Taz.

Connor will never become as polished as Andre...if he doesn't get the years and years of practice that Andre has had to get to his own level of presenting. He'll get there just like Andre has 😎 - Taz.

The quick and easy ability to model threads is one of the main reasons is still prefer Fusion 360. I use that feature A LOT
It is certainly handy - Taz.

Yeah about time lol
This one was available for some time already to HPA Gold members 😎 - Taz.

Now model the EXACT shape and profile of the weld bead on the part too 😂
i like that is web based. it worked on linux etc. that said fusion is always my goto
Onshape is an entry level tool. It simply will never do, what solidworks can. There. Done. I use both.

Am i going insane?
Embrace it I reckon 😂 - Taz.
no i did not reset my headset multiple times.
Good video but I absolutely hate PTC, such a broken company with even worse software.

This guy struggles in videos! Wish Andre wasn't so busy and made more videos, day and night difference!

@@hpa101There's no doubt he will, he needs to work on his nervousness, that's all...
