SolidWorks

 

Students generally are not trained in using the machinery in the workshop as it takes years of experience to master and the cost of damaging a machine outweighs the benefits.

 

Students bring their project to Wesley in SolidWorks file format and Wesley then manages it through the workshop and other technicians who see it through the machines. Before using any of the facilities please contact Wesley.

​

Materials Available

​

The workshop currently doesn’t supply a standard material list.

 

Students usually supply their own materials, but can go to Wesley for advice on suppliers/ quotes.

 

The workshop is currently in the process of working towards setting up a store and standard set of materials/ management system.
