CAD - Basics

The "CAD - Basics" training course provides an introduction to computer-aided design. It starts with an overview of various CAD systems and the different modeling approaches. A generative CAD system from Autodesk is used, which participants can install on their own computer free of charge. At the end of the course, participants will be able to create detailed sketches, generate three-dimensional components from them, arrange the created components in assemblies and supplement them with standard and purchased parts and derive technical drawings from components and assemblies. The course takes place online, in presence or in a mixed course. The basics acquired in the CAD system Autodesk Inventor can be deepened in further courses. These include the courses "CAD - Advanced" or "CAD - FEM".
