Digital manufacturing- Introduction to CAD

'Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an appropriate name to describe the technologies that build 3D objects by adding layer-upon-layer of material, whether the material is plastic, metal, concrete or one day…..human tissue. Common to AM technologies is the use of a computer, 3D modeling software (CAD), machine equipment and binding material. Once a CAD sketch is produced, the AM equipment reads in data from the CAD file trasformed into readable format and lays downs or adds successive layers of liquid, powder, sheet material or other, in a layer-upon-layer fashion to fabricate a 3D object based upon mapped coordiantes and orientation. Enroll to make a 3D object in minutes!

You will learn various parameters after completing this course - 1. How elementary and advanced topics of additive manufacturing are applied in development of 3D object. 2. Theoretical background behind each requirements which helps an engineer to understand the importance and neccessity of every requirements at different stages. 3. An insight into the newly introduced criteria and guidelines. 4. Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application requirements. 5. University students who want to take up career in AM / Digital Mfg department and wants to learn about the most widely used best practices and standard. 6. Experienced engineers who want to grow their career in AM / Digital Mfg by understand the background of different types requirements.

Topics ranging from -Starting with accessing part file, creating new file, file extension, tool bar, menu bar and application with simulation tools - are covered in this module.
