\"Egerman<\/a><\/p>\n

When Bertrand Sicot visited Istanbul, he met Egemen Ertem, then 13 years old.\u00a0 Egemen has a real passion for SOLIDWORKS, design and 3D Printing.<\/p>\n

I got to interview this young designer on his path to passing the CSWA exam.<\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: What age did you start learning SOLIDWORKS?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: I started to use other 3d designing programs when I was 12 but I started using SolidWorks when was 13. I passed CSWA when I was 13 and now I am 14.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: Did you learn SOLIDWORKS at school?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: No, it is not at school.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: Who is your mentor?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: \u00a0Amazingly I don’t have any mentor. I read an article about 3d printers in “Bilim Teknik<\/a>” magazine. I decided to have a 3d printer and I learned that I must design something by using a CAD program to print. I downloaded a basic CAD program’s trial. After the trial time ended I started to use another CAD\/CAM program. After that I started using SOLIDWORKS. What I can say is SOLIDWORKS is the best of all. I didn\u2019t know some advanced features in SOLIDWORKS before I had a 5 day course in Tekyaz.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: What is your favorite feature in SOLIDWORKS?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: My favorite features in SOLIDWORKS are assembling and surface designing. I usually design simple parts if I will be the only customer because I want to use it as earlier as possible, so I don’t often use surface designing but I use assembling a lot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: What drove you to become certified?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: I wanted to have a certificate because it shows how good are you. There are some other children who passed CSWA but not much. I knew I can pass CSWA. I passed CSWA with 220 score.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: What do you want to do after high school?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: I am at Prep in \u00dcsk\u00fcdar Amerikan Academy and I have lots of plans to do during high school years too. I am working on organizing a club at school that I will teach SOLIDWORKS. After high school I want to study at MIT. I want to study on robots and mechanics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marie<\/strong>: What do you do to have fun?<\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>: I design something on SOLIDWORKS to have fun. If I don’t have anything to design, I usually create “a blank in a blank”. \u00a0Now I am working on few projects at the same time. I did one of my homework by using my 3d printer(MakerBot 5th Generation Replicator) and SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Egemen<\/strong>, congratulations on achieving CSWA certification and thank you for sharing with the \u00a0SOLIDWORKS community!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This month, My SolidWorks is providing SOLIDWORKS users a \u201cgolden ticket\u201d to learning the content on the CSWA exam.\u00a0 More information can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0 Marie<\/p>\n
