ASCON has always placed great emphasis on education. It offers its interactive KOMPAS-ABC system free of charge to anyone interested in learning CAD easily, as well as an educational programme for institutions and individual students and regular training courses for CAD software users.
With the release of KOMPAS-3D V10, ASCON is offering a new service developed together with the company’s partners and software providers. KOMPAS-3D is an ideal solution for 3D beginners. Seminars are now available not only for existing users but also for people who are merely planning to use 3D software. Part of the qualified training is based on the classic professional mechanical CAD solution KOMPAS-3D. Participants in the pre-sales training learn the fundamentals of 3D modelling and parametric design, creating assemblies and manufacturing drawings, modelling sheet-metal parts, and many other features of classic mechanical CAD. As a special offer, seminar participants receive the unique opportunity to continue working in 3D with powerful, professional, up-to-date CAD software, using temporary professional KOMPAS-3D licences for learning or commercial applications free of charge for up to one year after the course.
“IBS-CAD-Coaching is an ASCON partner and supplier of KOMPAS-3D in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We are located where those three countries meet, on the beautiful Lake Constance island of Lindau. IBS has provided CAD training and support for many years. From the outset, our philosophy has been to offer intensive, professional training combined with a generous trial period before customers decide to purchase CAD software. Ultimately, this is the only way for customers to make a sound, informed decision about CAD, and for many years it has produced 100 per cent satisfied, highly qualified CAD users. Thanks to ASCON’s support, we can now put our philosophy into practice better than ever and make a truly unique offer: complete KOMPAS-3D training at IBS-CAD-Coaching and receive one of the most powerful, professional and modern CAD programs free of charge for an entire year. If you attend our three-day foundation seminar and, a few weeks later, the three-day advanced seminar, while using KOMPAS-3D in your daily work from the very beginning, you will quickly become an excellent user of this powerful 3D CAD software. You will then also be able to make a well-founded, confident CAD decision—certainly one of the most important decisions a company makes,” said engineer Martin Schlattner, CEO of IBS-CAD-Coaching.
“KOMPAS-3D is an excellent and truly unique 3D MCAD system for small and medium-sized businesses that also includes a comprehensive 2D solution,” said engineer Jan Pajerchin of TECHSOFT s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. “KOMPAS-3D deserves particular attention for its combination of 2D and 3D functionality and its effective, practical tools. All of this is delivered through a very good and convenient user interface. I have to say that KOMPAS-3D surprises me every day—especially when I need to design something unusual and discover: ‘It is so easy with KOMPAS-3D.’ To make design and engineering more efficient, every designer should experience this realisation: ‘It is so easy with KOMPAS!’ After completing KOMPAS-3D training, this is precisely the thought that will stay with every participant.”
