SolidWorks is a CAD(computer aided design) tool used for modeling mechanical systems, we're going to learn it by modeling our hexapod robot. SolidWorks is a paid tool but there is a student version that could be avaible in your university. (Student Version)

We're going to learn SolidWorks by samples and videos, that I will post as we get along with the tool.
