hi this is Anita from the global trade
0:09
gal today I want to talk a little bit
0:10
about some of my own story or or maybe
0:13
I'm going to get a little bit personal
0:14
here on on some things but you know I've
0:16
long been in the global trade industry
0:18
I've long worked in design in fact you
0:20
know in Muro we say that we create
0:22
develop and manufacturer for a long time
0:25
you know I've had like you know teams of
0:27
designers working underneath me but I
0:30
decided that you know I really needed to
0:31
be able to learn design myself and I
0:34
think part of that was because of the
0:35
fact that I just got so tired of saying
0:38
to people no you know this proportion
0:40
doesn't look right this proportion is
0:42
not correct and just correcting things
0:45
again and again and again and so I
0:47
decided that 3D design is something that
0:49
I'd like to tackle and learn so a few
0:52
years ago I discovered shaper 3D I
0:55
started learning it but I be honest with
0:57
you I found it really overwhelming I
0:59
kept paying for the yearly fee on it I
1:02
you know would would putts around with
1:03
it every once in a while and I I I just
1:06
found it challenging very challenging I
1:08
was able to do a few basic things on it
1:10
but not really be able to do the things
1:12
that I wanted to do on it I would you
1:14
know join in listen to several webinars
1:16
they had where I felt like it was way
1:18
over my head and I could hardly keep up
1:20
and and I felt like all these other
1:22
people had so much cat experience and uh
1:26
design experience that I just didn't
1:28
have and I felt completely lost with it
1:31
all but then I decided this last March
1:34
when my renewal came up again for shaper
1:37
3D and there I was putting out a couple
1:40
more100 for the program which I wasn't
1:42
really using the way that I should and I
1:44
decided okay I'm going to do it for one
1:46
more year and if I really don't Master
1:49
this then I'm just going to give it up
1:51
and forget it so I started to really
1:53
make this the goal of mine to learn 3D
1:57
design and I'll admit it was challenging
2:00
in because you know many people that do
2:02
3D design have been people that have
2:04
taken classes from it they've got sort
2:06
of the structure they you know they
2:07
they've taken um classes they've taken
2:09
the coursework they've you know they've
2:11
sort of like learned so I actually hired
2:14
myself um somebody to to help me with it
2:17
you know once a week and I decided that
2:19
I was going to try to master this and I
2:22
have to say that this has been one of
2:24
the best decisions that I have made in
2:27
my life is to really learn to master
2:31
shaper 3D and CAD design you know where
2:34
I was a fan before of shaper 3D I would
2:37
say now I'm I'm really sort of more like
2:40
a super fan I really really like the
2:43
program and I find that I can do almost
2:45
everything on there that I need to do
2:47
except maybe organic shapes I don't do
2:50
quite so well so the next program I want
2:52
to sort of learn is blender because I
2:54
understand blender is quite good with
2:55
that even though I do a little bit with
2:57
blender now too but I really really
3:00
really like a lot of things about shaper
3:03
3D and let me explain to you some of the
3:06
reasons why I really believe that if
3:09
you're looking at doing product
3:10
development which today in this world
3:13
today of global trade that we're in
3:15
product development has to be an aspect
3:18
I believe of your global trade why
3:21
because if you can develop something
3:23
unique something nobody else has if you
3:25
can develop something that people want
3:28
then you have an edge that maybe
3:30
somebody else doesn't have whether
3:32
you're a
3:33
manufacturer whether you're a supplier
3:35
whether you're a wholesal whether you're
3:37
importer exporter whatever you are that
3:40
if you can have some type of design
3:44
element or product element in with it I
3:47
believe it just helps to open up a lot
3:49
more doors for you and it makes you more
3:51
interesting to your to your clients or
3:54
to your
3:55
customers so some of the things about
3:56
shaper 3D I like is uh the versatility
3:59
among all devices and that I can use
4:01
shaper 3D on the computer which I'll
4:03
I'll admit I don't use it on the
4:05
computer I am very much a shap or 3D
4:08
iPad person and one of the reasons why
4:10
I'm a shape or 3D iPad person is I think
4:12
I just sort of like the way I can draw
4:16
onto the iPad with the
4:18
pencil I have found that the more I've
4:21
been able to work with it and The more
4:23
I've been able to learn it I find it to
4:26
be a very intuitive and actually quite
4:29
an easy uh CAD program to learn and you
4:33
know part of that again is because I'm
4:35
drawing on the iPad and I really love
4:38
when I you know when I look at what like
4:39
Apple's doing now where they're building
4:41
you know iPads that are bigger with
4:43
better chips in them that I think that's
4:46
sort of the wave of the future the
4:47
technology of the future the way it's
4:48
going to go you know I'm I'm a great
4:50
believer in that and um you know because
4:54
you know when you you can work on a
4:55
larger screen you can have a better
4:57
pencil all those things will help with
4:59
program like shap or
5:01
3D I love how you know with that they're
5:03
doing this continuous Improvement
5:05
they're continously trying to improve
5:06
their their program they're continuously
5:08
trying to improve who they are and and
5:11
what they do they're always you know
5:12
bringing in new things and I think that
5:14
that's important to align yourself with
5:17
a a company where the continuous
5:19
Improvement is an important part of it
5:22
they're very good about online training
5:25
they've had these series of some
5:26
webinars in fact one of them now is with
5:29
someone who's Bec a friend of mine Claus
5:31
kumman who teaches at you know teaches
5:33
in Michigan you know that he gives some
5:35
great webinars and explains some things
5:37
about shape or 3D you know which has
5:40
really been great or you can go online
5:43
and you can find that they've got a lot
5:44
of online training materials they've
5:47
really invested in a lot of online
5:49
training I myself found that I don't do
5:51
quite as well as you know with online
5:54
training as I do with having somebody
5:55
actually work with me and help me and
5:58
that's why I've also you know hired
5:59
somebody who who you know works with me
6:02
and we you know go through some of these
6:03
things that's really helped me be able
6:05
to learn um shaper 3D it's given me the
6:09
ability to be able to do some complex
6:11
shapes that shapes I never thought that
6:12
I'd be able to do before you know shaper
6:15
3D is giving me the ability to be able
6:17
to do some of these really complex
6:19
shapes and I love how it's been able to
6:21
um seemly integrate with other software
6:25
you know I don't I don't just use shape
6:26
or 3D there's several other programs I
6:28
use I use BL
6:30
and I use procreate but I really have
6:32
found ways that all of these can kind of
6:34
go seamlessly together between all of
6:37
them I really love how they be able to
6:40
work together one of the great things
6:42
about shaper 3D is its portability you
6:45
know I can be at an airport I can be on
6:47
a plane I can be in a factory I can be
6:50
in a car and I can work on shaper 3D so
6:54
because the fact that it's on an
6:56
iPad I can basically work on on it
7:00
anywhere and I really love that
7:02
portability especially you know if I'm
7:04
at a factory you have an idea you could
7:06
sketch it down or if I just have some
7:08
downtime I can take it I can sketch I
7:10
can I can I can you know work with it
7:12
directly there on my iPad that's really
7:16
you know the great thing about it is
7:18
this this portability really helps make
7:20
an efficient design process because you
7:23
know because of the portability it
7:25
allows you to sketch your ideas quickly
7:26
or if you need to if you're at the
7:28
factory you need to make a change you
7:29
can you know you can right there you can
7:31
sketch the change and say no this is the
7:33
way it needs to be you can export
7:36
details of of your drawings which is
7:39
great you can make um you know uh
7:42
workspaces um you know and and it has
7:44
some very powerful CAD features and it's
7:47
a very coste effective you know type of
7:50
solution to use you know the main thing
7:52
that you need to have to have shaper 3D
7:54
is you need to have a you need to have
7:56
an iPad and you have to you know I would
7:58
recommend if you're going to
8:00
you know do shape or 3D you're serious
8:01
about designing on an iPad that you
8:05
invest in a good iPad and when I go home
8:07
to the United States in the fall I'm
8:09
going to invest in a better iPad why
8:12
because I I find out that I spend 90% of
8:15
my working day on the iPad whether it's
8:18
designing now um creating or even you
8:21
know answering emails or other things I
8:23
spend a lot of time on the iPad why
8:26
because I just find that it's so much
8:27
easier and I like I said I love the
8:29
portability of the iPad itself you know
8:32
I found that shaper 3D is quite a
8:34
supportive Community they've even uh
8:36
before when I was really struggling they
8:38
even reached out and they you know gave
8:40
me some free 1-hour training sessions
8:42
which was great they really stand behind
8:45
their products there's a great support
8:47
Community there and I believe it's very
8:50
Innovative and it's a it's a new way
8:52
creativity is going to go this is the
8:55
way creativity is going to go we're
8:56
going to be on iPads and tablets and and
8:59
other things like that and this is the
9:00
way creativity is you know throw away
9:02
those you know pens and papers those of
9:05
you out there that're still designing on
9:06
those instead get yourself an iPad and
9:09
start learning to create on an iPad and
9:12
learn a program such as shap or 3D yes
9:15
you may struggle as I did there you know
9:18
may be hard as as it was difficult for
9:21
me but at the same time I can promise
9:24
you once you put in the time and you've
9:26
learned it you'll say wow this is easy
9:29
wow this is great and you'll become a
9:31
