What this episode covers

Matt Perez, founder of CADucation, explains his transition from a hands-on fabrication background to becoming a leading CAD/CAM content creator for software companies like Autodesk. He emphasizes that true proficiency in tools like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks comes from understanding the 'why' behind design decisions, such as surface continuity and sketch constraints, rather than just following tutorials. Perez discusses the importance of reverse engineering physical objects, like multicolor pens, to master complex modeling techniques and the challenges of scaling his solo business into a small team.
