Course contents *

Advanced CAD usage:

• Advanced solid modelling operations
• Modelling of parts with complex shapes and freeform surfaces
• Diverse and unconventional metodologies for CAD work
• Modelling operations for sheet metal parts

Manufacturing adaptation and preparation for manufacturing in Rapid Prototyping equipment

Intended learning outcomes *

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• use the full functionality of a modern CAD system to create high quality CAD models of parts with complex shapes, using a structured work method
• interpret 2D drawings and use them as a reference for creating 3D CAD models
• reflect upon and describe the development of his/her CAD skills during the course
• adapt and prepare CAD models for additive manufacturing

Course Disposition

Classes 1-2 times per week with activities such as:

• Laboratory exercises in usage of advanced CAD system functions
• Individual work on several parts with complex shapes and structures, based on 2D manufacturing drawings 

The student has to document his/her individual work in a technical report describing modelling approaches and commands used, lessons learnt from each model and reflections over modelling issues and the learning process

Ethical approach *

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
