Technical Drawing and CAD (5 ECTS)

Objective

The student
• can design a product taking into account its manufacturing and material
• is able to read and produce technical drawings, 3D models and technical documents
• can create work drawings, choose correct tolerances and surface roughness considering the component's intended use and manufacturing process.
• can create 3D models and assemblies that can be used for analysis, simulation and various manufacturing techniques.

Content

• Technical drawing and its labels and symbols
• Tolerances and determination of surface roughness and their marking on drawings
• Diagrams, assembly drawings and parts lists
• Weld markings and welding drawings
• Basics of 3D modelling
• Preparation of 3D assemblies
• Preparation of working drawings, assembly drawings and parts lists from a 3D model
