CAD/CAM has become necessary tool for the industries involved in product development and production industries producing precision parts. Quick 3D modeling and automated drafting of engineering components and assembly verification is required to avoid delays and it has proved best alternate to prototypes. All these and much more can be achieved by thorough understanding and proper implementation of CAD/CAM system for product development. This course will focus on making the participants aware of the potential uses of production level solid modeling and machining using CAD/CAM. Students will learn how to create 3D models of parts, view and edit them interactively and create 2D Layouts from the 3D model to produce NC data file necessary for machining of parts.
