Course summary
The CAD Drafting and Tool Design program concentrates on the use of CAD in product drawing, dies (metal stamping), molds (plastic processes) and jig, fixture and gauge design. Students are involved with computers throughout the program to familiarize them with CAD software and applications such as detailing, GD & T, general tolerancing, wire frame, surfacing, solid modeling with parametric technology and Rapid Prototyping. Computer-aided engineering software for mold design and mechanical applications are also used. Student solid models are processed and created on our Rapid Prototyping equipment.
