Course Description
- 1 Semester
- 0.5 Credit
- Grades 10,11,12
Prerequisite: Technical Drawing & CAD (901) or Intro. to Engineering Design (PLTW) (991).This course expands upon the concepts and skills taught in Technical Drawing & CAD (901). 3D AutoCAD software will be used to apply geometric primitives with Booleanoperators to create designs from scratch. These designs will then be used to create virtual models and prototypes. Finally, the additive manufacturing process of 3-D printing will be used to create actual models of the objects you designed to check forheck for accuracy and function. Students should leave this course with an understanding of 3-D printing and its uses in industry.
