About this Unit
The documentation of design concepts in the form of three-dimensional (3D) computer models provides data that can be applied in a wide variety of ways to facilitate the understanding and production of parts and assemblies. This unit introduces students to the industry-standard software and hardware employed to generate these models, through a hands-on approach to creating 3D data. In addition to this students are provided with the background history related to computer modelling in general, and solids modelling in particular. Because of the key role that 3D computer models play in modern manufacturing, issues such as data transfer, rapid prototyping, computer numerical machining (CNC) and visualization are discussed and evaluated.
