CAD -Continuation Studies (3cr)

Objective

After completing the course, the student is able to:
- model 3D parts and assemblies using a PDM system (Product Data Management),
- produce high-quality manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, parts lists, and other design documentation,
- model mechanical components in CAD as sheet-metal parts and welded structures,
- design parametric part families,
- use key CAD analysis and design tools such as frame design, piping design, visualization, motion analysis, parameterization, standard component libraries, and create parametric parts and assemblies,
- apply design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles,
- develop an understanding of the product lifecycle, including the consideration of sustainable development throughout the design process.
