# Mechanical ## Overview Welcome to the Mechanical Onboarding for the 2025-2026 school year! ## Goals - Learning - How do we use CAD software in SCR? - What is a part file? - How can you import part files? - What is an assembly file? - Practical - How to use Onshape - How to design parts for 3D printing - Export, slice, and print 3D models ## Getting Started **Create an onshape account** Navigate to [onshape](https://web.archive.org/web/20250912192145/https://www.onshape.com/en/sign-up) and create an account. Select education, student, and college. Choose the student plan and search for the **University of Oklahoma**.
