Magazines for 3D CAD users?

(OP)
Hi,

Although my background is in embedded software, recently I've been involved in mechanical design from the point of view of project management and procuring CAD software. Now, I realize I'm not fully qualified for this role since I'm not a mechanical engineer by training, but we don't have a full-time mechanical engineer on staff and won't anytime soon. I'm going to make the best of it and frankly looking forward to learning about a new field.

My question is, are there any free or not-free magazines that 3D designers like to read? If so I should probably start flipping through them to get a handle on the industry jargon, primarily to prepare myself to deal with software salesmen. (Of course I'm also studying mechanical engineering "for real" too.)

Regards,

Tim
