RT10-207: Computer Aided Design

In this course, students will gain basic knowledge of Computer Aided Design software and mechanical drawings. This course will cover 2D and 3D designs, symbols, lines, types of views, title block information, dimensioning and tolerances. Students will work with a variety of technical tooling to replicate components, create models for application, and design drawing layouts based on drawing standards. The students will bring these designs to life utilizing additive manufacturing equipment, which they will work hands on with to prepare both file and equipment for printing. Software parameters and equipment settings will be discussed and practiced as students will test their ability to meet specified criteria for design and editing.
