CAD and 3D Printing introduces students to the world of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and rapid prototyping through hands-on learning. Students begin by learning the basics of CAD while developing a strong foundation in engineering design and fabrication. As the course progresses, students create various example models. They explore concepts such as tolerances, material properties, and mechanical design. Along the way, students collaborate on projects that mirror real industry workflows, including working with virtual vendors and managing shifting design requirements. In the final part of the course, students design a multi-part, team-designed product that demonstrates what they’ve learned and built.
