Time for a new episode of the 3D Printing Society Podcast. This week is with Jesse Harrington Au, maker advocate at Autodesk. Former designer, he joined Autodesk to give a voice to the maker community, spread knowledge about Autodesk maker tools and more generally make projects happen by and for the community.

In this episode, Jesse talks about how to get started as a maker and presents a lot of Autodesk 123D tools for users of 3D printers. He takes us for a ride in the world of Autodesk 123D software for 3D printing, from the most accessible ones to the more advanced features.

Jesse also shares a lot of tips for designers and makers.
