Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • apply the basics of solid modelling
  • interpret and create 2D drawings
  • perform exploded views

Course Content

The course begins  with a basic overview of areas of application for CAD as a design tool, after which the basics of relevant drawings are covered. This is followed by a demonstration of the overview of the user interface of the CAD program used in the course. After this, the different basic tools that are needed for modelling and drawing production are explained. The work with the program includes modelling of individual details and the assembly of these. Students will be taught to create exploded views with the aim to create clarity in a complex 3D model.
