Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is among the most powerful tools for product development

CAD is the tool that takes your ideas forward to concepts, prototypes, and products.

This course will guide you through the basic functions of CAD software. You will learn how to build parts from drawings, what a defined drawing is, and how to best construct them. Additionally, you will work with part assemblies, where you will also be introduced to standard components such as screws, bearings, and seals.

Does it sound complicated? Understandable.

But CAD is a tool that, like other tools, enables you to work creatively once you have mastered it. This will be your introduction to an incredibly powerful tool for design and product development.

It is not expected that you have worked with CAD before.
