Aims and objectives

This unit aims to introduce basic drafting conventions and product detailing used to specify the manufacture and assembly of products. Skills in CAD software for parametric 3D solid modelling will be developed and enable the generation of product components and fully assembled products. Students will be introduced to the role and importance of 3D solid modelling in CAD software for design development, product detailing and engineering processes.

Unit Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this Unit should be able to:
 
1. Identify the key principles of parametric 3D solid modelling (K1, K2)
2. Interpret existing CAD data for 3D solid modelling (K2, K3, S1, A4)
3. Determine appropriate solid modelling tools to accurately depict a range of geometric forms and simple product details in parametric CAD (K3, S2)
4. Apply principles of engineering drawing convention to their technical drawing in accordance with AS1100 standards using CAD software (K4, K5, K6, A2, A5)
5. Prepare basic solid models of product components and product assemblies using parametric 3D solid modelling. (K5, K6, S2, S3, A2, A6)
