Introduction:
Presently, CAD/CAM has become a necessary tool for product design and development to help boost productivity. Quick 3D modeling and automated drafting of engineering components and assembly verification is required to avoid delays. These modern techniques have proved to be the best alternative to prototype-making and long iterative development cycles. This can be achieved by a thorough understanding and implementation of CAD/CAM system for product development. This course will teach how to create 3D Models of a part, view, edit interactively and create 2D layouts from the 3D Model to then produce a NC data file necessary for machining of parts.
Course Coverage:

Participant Profile:
Product Development Engineers, Design Engineers, Technicians, Associate Engineers, CNC programmers etc. are encouraged to participate. Students of mechanical engineering departments are also encouraged to participate. No previous CAD/CAM experience is required.
Instructor Profile:
Instructors is highly qualified and have years of experience in the field of CAD/CAM and engineering design with background of CAE industry.
Methodology:
The course is taught mainly through lectures, demonstrations and hands on practice on computers. Example Design Problems will be presented and discussed.
Learning Outcome:
Participants will be equipped with solid modeling skills. They will be able to create the tool path of the designed part required to machine a finished part. Further, they will be able to generate NC data for the part.
