About course

Course description

Ever wondered how products are designed?

Find out for yourself through this introductory course where you will be introduced to the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Design (CAD). To facilitate your learning experience, there will be hands-on sessions on basic, common, and practical CAD skills in this course.

Participants will get the chance to familiarise themselves with the Autodesk Fusion CAD software, as they learn about visualisation of three-dimensional (3D) models and explore related product design functions. They will also acquire the basic skills needed to create 3D models of their own designs.

Republic Polytechnic (RP) is an Autodesk Authorized Training Centre and Autodesk Learning Partner. 

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded an official Certificate of Completion issued by Autodesk.

Course objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Create design concepts using two-dimensional (2D) sketch
• Develop design concepts using 3D modelling
• Prepare 3D models for prototyping such as 3D printing
• Build assembly of 3D models and examine designs
• Construct engineering drawings from 3D models
• Compose an animation of an assembly to show all its components

Target audiences

Hobbyists, 3D printing enthusiasts, and individuals who wish to learn more about design, product design, and CAD.
