Diploma in CAD Technology
A Diploma in CAD Technology (Computer-Aided Design) is a technical course that trains students in using computer software to design, draft, and model 2D and 3D objects. It is widely used in engineering, architecture, manufacturing, interior design, and other fields that require precision drawing and modeling.
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the use of software to create technical drawings and models used in design and engineering processes. It replaces manual drafting with digital tools that improve speed, accuracy, and flexibility.
Introduction to CAD Basics of drafting, design principles, and projection methods Coordinate systems and drawing setup 2. 2D Drafting Creating technical drawings using AutoCAD Line, circle, arc, polygon, trim, offset, mirror, etc. Dimensioning, annotations, layers, and plotting 3. 3D Modeling Solid modeling, wireframe, and surface modeling Extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, and boolean operations Viewing and rendering models.
Industry-Specific CAD Applications (based on specialization): Mechanical CAD: Gears, engines, machine parts (e.g., using SolidWorks, CATIA) Civil/Architectural CAD: Floor plans, elevations, structural layouts (e.g., AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit) Electrical CAD: Wiring diagrams, circuit layouts (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical) Interior Design CAD: Layouts, furniture design, lighting plans 5. Plotting & Printing File formats, layout sheets, scaling Exporting files for CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing.
