This course focuses on the fundamental tools of Solidworks (the industry standard CAD software for product design). Students will learn and practice using all methods of rapid representation available in the College of Design (fused deposition modeling (FDM), Objet, starch and CNC) and methods of prototype creation with vendors outside the College. Exercises and projects focus on workflow, basic rendering and drawings to make simple multi-part objects.
