Placement : 6. semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Objective : To give the engineering students a basic/advanced insight in working with modern CAD systems – feature based solid modeling system. This course is designed around a process-based approach to training. The process-based training, emphasizes the processes and procedures you follow to complete a particular task. By utilizing case studies to illustrate these processes, you learn the necessary commands, options and menus in the context of completing a design task. The main goal of this course is to teach the student how to build standard models as well as advanced freeform shapes.
Principal Content : The focus of this course is on the fundamental skills, tools, and concepts central to successfully building multibody and freeform shapes/models. The course would cover all the standard tools in a feature based parametric CAD system. Computerised 3D visualising tools for preparation of presentation material and production drawings will be used. Stereo lithography (SLA), CNC (computer numerical control), reverse engineering (3D scanning) and casting techniques will be used for rapid prototyping. Relevant courses with practice will be arranged during the semester.
