    Description
    This introductory course focuses on the fundamentals of parametric Computer Aided Design (CAD) for manufacturing applications. Students will learn to create fully defined sketches, parametric 3D part assembly models, using industry-standard CAD tools. The course provides an overview of how CAD models serve as the foundation for downstream processes, such as technical documentation, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), CNC machining, Additive Manufacturing (AM), and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design. Emphasis is placed on developing essential modeling skills, understanding design intent, and recognizing how CAD data supports various stages of the manufacturing process. (not transferable)
