Practical Trainings

The CAD lab is used for the following practical trainings:

  • Basics of CAD
  • CAD/CAM

The participation in Basics of CAD is compulsory for all students. Here they learn the basic 3D techniques required for using a CAD system. The training is performed in groups with 15 person.

The CAD/CAM practical training comprises two parts: In the first part (CAD), the capabilities of modern CAD systems are demonstrated. Students are introduced to ways of modeling and assembly modeling and much more by using the Inventor CAD system.

In the second part of the training (CAM), students deal with the computer-aided generation of milling programs. This part of the training takes place in the CAD/CAM lab.
