Mechanical Design Skills

Full course description

This course provides you with basic skills to perform computer aided design (CAD). You use theoretical knowledge introduced in Mechanical Physics to complete 3D designs in CAD. First, you are familiarized with the 3D CAD software package. You follow a computer tutorial with exercises to build 3D designs of simple products, assign dimensions, tolerances and materials. Subsequently, your skills are deepened by preparing for and making a design with 3D-printing and by performing a structural and thermal analysis of a component using the theoretic knowledge of the course Mechanical Physics.
