Your instructor, David Melvin, PE is a licensed Mechanical Engineer with over 25 years of experience in research and development of new products for major companies. He founded The Engineering Department Consulting Firm in 1998 and soon discovered that he needed an easier and faster way to train his draftsmen and engineers to use 3D CAD. So he began making video based training courses. This method of teaching was so effective that he founded TEDCF Publishing in 2000. Now his courses are used by thousands of professionals, students, and teachers all over the world.
If you need to learn how to use SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or Microsoft Excel in a professional environment, our video based training courses are your solution. Professional use of SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor requires a strong understanding of the use of the software. Knowing the commands is not enough. You need to learn procedures and best practices that assure your models and assemblies are structurally sound and constructed in a professional manner. They also need to be editable in such a way that streamlines your work. All of these considerations are critical to your productivity and success.
The courses at TEDCF Publishing strike at the heart of this issue by showing you what to do as well as what not to do. Our motto is, “We take you Beyond the Commands.” And you can rest assured this is our goal for you.
