O curso cumpre o que é prometido. A única ressalva foi minha expectativa. Eu esperava mais interação com o movimento "Maker" e um pouco de mais profundidade nos CNC Routers. Mas isso não conta para a avaliação. Expectativa é algo efêmero e que, muitas vezes, afetam a percepção.
Recomendo o curso a todos que gostariam adentrar esta seara.

Il corso è ben fatto, chiaro ed esaustivo. Apre le porte a un modo di concepire il mercato diverso e decisamente interessante. Molto utili, seppur solo accennati, gli aiuti pratici per fare gli incastri con il cad.
