Computer Aided Design & Rapid Prototyping Modular 2 Course

This course is design to extend skills and knowledge for module 1 for learners who want to extend their knowledge to 3D design and assembly modelling. Learners may have completed a previous Engineering qualification and wish to progress onto Level 4 or higher-level qualifications, or to gain/develop knowledge and skills required to work in industries where there are requirements to utilise industrial software and new technologies of the future.

This qualification includes the following modules:

• Advanced 3D CAD part design
• Advanced 3D assembly modelling
• Advanced 3D rendering models to produce realistic components

There are no formal assessments.

For entry onto this qualification learners must have a keen interest in advanced manufacturing. A background or previous study in an engineering specific qualification may be an advantage.
