CADventure
3D CADventure is a firm favourite; a flexible half or full day Solidworks training session run by designers from our team. The sessions take place in school or at our computer suite at the PDC.
The session aims to give an introduction to the software. It is a chance to learn SolidWorks, for those who have not used the package or CAD before. Pupils will work through this hands-on, tutorial based course at your own pace with guidance from trained design engineers.
Topics include:
- Introduction to the SolidWorks software and its interface
- Sketching and using sketch planes
- Basic part modelling using extrudes and cuts
- Editing sketches and features
- Revolving rotationally symmetrical parts
- Assembling multiple parts
- Creating 2D drawings from parts and assemblies
- Sweeping a profile along a path to create parts
Half or full day activity. Available in school or at the PDC.
