Computer Requirements
A computer with the free “Blue Sky Plan” software already downloaded for the hands-on exercises. It is HIGHLY recommended to bring a mouse instead of using the trackpad. Ideal minimum computer specifications would be an i7 or higher processor, 32 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA 1060 (or equivalent) video card or higher. There should be 2-4 gb of memory dedicated specifically to the video card. It is also recommended to download the free program “MeshMixer” before courses. (See Meshmixer.com for download)
