10606204 Computer-Assisted Design-3D
Course Information
Description
Introductory study of working with simple 3D sketches and partly, creation. Strong emphasis on working with existing assemblies, and understanding component relationships. Students will work with OEM component 3D models and manipulating them into assemblies. Students will gain an understanding of drawing sets, and bill of materials.
