An introduction to CAD software and how it is used in engineering, construction, and product design. This module covers the CAD workspace, navigation, and basic design principles used in real-world projects.
Focuses on creating accurate 2D sketches and technical drawings. Learners will apply dimensions, constraints, and basic standards to produce clear and precise designs.
3D Modelling Fundamentals
Covers turning 2D sketches into 3D models using common modelling tools. Learners create solid parts and assemblies while understanding scale, alignment, and structure.
Editing, Constraints & Design Accuracy
Introduces modifying existing designs, applying constraints, and refining models. This module focuses on improving accuracy, design intent, and making changes efficiently.
Preparing Designs for Output
Covers exporting designs for manufacturing, construction, or 3D printing. Learners will generate files, apply basic tolerances, and prepare models for real-world use.
Final CAD Project
Learners complete a small design project that brings together all course skills. This module focuses on presenting a finished design suitable for a portfolio or assessment.
