Course aims
Explain the possibilities of constructing 3d models. Contribute to the formation of practical implementation experience of knowledge and skills for the use of CAD software and 3D printers.
Brief description of the course
Overview of CAD programs.
Various options for creating a solid body.
The use of dimensions in the process of creation of the details.
Practical use of the Assembly module, assembly of assemblies.
Assembly-based design.
Creating the drawings, the formatting rules.
Using the metal-sheet module.
Preparation the models for 3D printing, suitable file formats.
Using "Slicer" to create a print file.
The difference of synchronous modeling from traditional modeling.
Visualization.
The number and the volume of the tasks to be performed is high and not meant to be achievable during the training sessions, therefore, the students independent practical work has an important role.
To achieve the result the volume of independent work hours is approximately two hours for every one hour of contact training session.
The educational version of the software (Solid Edge) for independent practical work will be available and will provided by lector if necessary.
The software needs for running a powerful computer.

Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
- has knowledge of modern CAD programs and 3D printing capabilities;
- is familiar with the stages of the design process from concept to prototyping;
- can handle assembly-based modelling in Solid Edge;
- can generate drawings and visualise the models created;
- can analyse the printability of the generated model and make corrections where necessary.
