GF should take a page from SO: Fusion 360 plugin to svg, professional lookin demo videos

That would be very helpful and might extend the range of their target audience; however, it could be seen also as a deviation from their planned strategy for revenue. Folks who choose not to or can not come up with original designs just need a catalog of ready-to-go designs, ready-to-go-materials and a print button. Keurig/Nespresso strategy.

I do think that it would be worth their while to get something like this going. Partner with Autodesk or OnShape to have Glowforge specific training vids. Trouble is that up to this point, and most likely for some time, feature set is in flux and information given today is irrelevant tomorrow. That certainly would not look good for Autodesk and others.

Lots of robust discussion on demos and training vids and such for the first year of the forum. Lots of that discussion concluded that no one should invest too much time in these videos because they would rapidly be irrelevant.

It’s a tough issue. But yes, one video like this could be a great onramp.
