CAD and CAM (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) Course

What Will You Learn?

• By the end of a CAD and CAM (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) course, participants should be able to:
• 1. Understand CAD and CAM Principles: Grasp the fundamentals of CAD and CAM, including how to create and manipulate designs digitally and how these designs are used for manufacturing.
• 2. Master SolidWorks and AutoCAD Tools: Learn the features, tools, and interfaces of SolidWorks (for 3D modeling) and AutoCAD (for 2D and 3D design) and understand their functionalities.
• 3. Create 2D Drawings and 3D Models: Develop proficiency in designing 2D and 3D objects using AutoCAD and SolidWorks, including dimensions, annotations, and constraints.
• 4. Design and Simulate Components: Learn how to design mechanical parts and assemblies, and simulate how they will function in real-world environments using the simulation tools in SolidWorks.
• 5. Understand Manufacturing Processes: Learn how CAD designs are used in CAM systems to generate toolpaths and manage the automation of machining processes.
• 6. Apply Design Standards and Conventions: Understand design standards such as tolerances, material properties, and drafting conventions to ensure designs meet industry requirements.
• 7. Optimize Designs for Manufacturing: Learn how to design with manufacturability in mind, ensuring that parts are not only functional but also easy and cost-effective to manufacture.
• 8. Understand the Integration of CAD and CAM: Gain knowledge of how CAD designs are translated into CAM software, including CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine code and G-coding.
• 9. Create 3D Models and Animations: Learn to create realistic 3D renderings and animations of designs to present to clients or stakeholders.
• 10. Prepare for Certification: Prepare for certification exams like SolidWorks Professional or AutoCAD Certified User to validate your skills.
