Now, design is going to be something that could take years, and have a huge team of hundreds of designers working on it. Or, it can be something you can conceive up in the morning, draw it up in your computer in the afternoon, and by that evening, you could be 3D printing that part and working through a design process. So again, design's going to be the key first step conceiving that idea and, you know, 90% of most of designs are thinking about it in your head or sketching it up, and then bringing it into the computer. So the computer or software is really not as important as the idea itself, but there's a lot of different choices for software. We needed to get it into the computer so we can 3D print it, or machine it, or resin cast it, or injection mold it. Any of those processes that we're going to be looking at in this course, they're all are going to need to use a…
