Course detail

CAD - Basic

FSI-3CD-AAcad. year: 2022/2023

The course introduces students to the possibilities of design in CAD systems. Students will gain practical experience in 2D drawing and 3D modelling in AutoCAD and Inventor CAD systems. They become familiar with the creation of parts and assemblies, adaptivity, parameter setting, volume and surface modelling and drafting.

The course is designed for beginners who have no experience with CAD systems.
