In this workshop, you will learn the basics of graphical communication for engineers using computer aided design (CAD). Fundamental concepts and the engineering process will be applied towards a meaningful purpose: Designing 3D Printed Face Masks in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fusion 360 will be used for all lessons. By the end of this eight-session workshop, you should be able to visualize how basic objects are designed in the modern world and its applications to additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D-printing). The class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. What to expect: • What is CAD? Why do I need CAD? How engineering is a technical art and CAD is a platform for idea expression. • Design intent and the 12 Step Engineering Process. • The CAD interface • A deep dive into manufacturing considerations (i.e. in 3D Printing) • Idea representation by sketching. CAD's language of speech • The process of going from 2D to 3D. AKA Sketch & Build • Considerations when designing individual parts in 3D • Designing models driven by parameters • Industry/Real World Application: Using CAD to your advantage amidst COVID, designing a 3D Printed Face Mask • CAD and Engineering in the future (i.e. Generative Design)
