CAD Set Up and Process
Learners will be guided through the preparation and processes necessary to ensure that both 3D and 2D outputs match both final purpose and expectations.
|
Templates Generation
Learner will breakdown the structure of a drawing file, and then learn the steps of creating drawing templates and sheet formats. Learners will be shown how to correctly setup 3D CAD application to prepare and use proprietary templates for new drawings. The learner the will become familiar with customising drawing sheet formats, covering title blocks, automatic border tools and table anchors.
|
Geometric Tolerencing and Dimensioning
Learners will receive an introduction to geometric tolerances and metrology techniques. Learners will be familiarised with dimensioning systems and symbols for defining and communicating engineering tolerances on engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models to explicitly describe nominal geometry and its allowable variation. An industry visit will be included to view coordinate measuring equipment in a production setting.
|
Parametric 3D Modelling and 2D Drawing
Learners will continue to develop their 3D modelling capabilities my adding more advanced modelling features to their repertoire. Learners will use 3D modelling skills as a support tool for form generation during the Live projects and Competition projects within Design Studio 3.
|
Triennial Talks
Learners will attend a triennial talk/conference in Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4. Each year the subject matter will be rotated to include presentations on: Design for Quality (Six Sigma/Lean Engineering), Design for Manufacture (Plastics- Injection Moulding/Toolmaking) and (Metal -CNC Sheet Metal/Fabrication/Machining/Casting).
