Course detail
Advanced CAD Applications in Technologies
FSI-HC1 Acad. year: 2025/2026 Winter semester
The course is an introduction to the CAD system with a focus on software working in 2D, 3D and surface modelling. It also deals with the hardware of the CAD system, the connection to data management and product lifecycle management systems PDM and PLM.
It will enable to acquire basic knowledge for designing tools and jigs in CAD environment in order to prepare data for further processing in CAM systems. There is also an accent on moulds, their design and data preparation.
