Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

To give students a general approach to different softwares, understanding the user interface between them and identifying the similarity and differences.
Allowing a comprehensive knowledge of the available tools to create a 3D visualization and 2D manufacturing drawing to produce a given object.
Being able to show there design in a professional way.

Contents

Different CAD and CAM software, namely Autodesk Fusion 360 and Rhino 6.
Interface:
Window Interface, Visualization methods, Selection methods. Toolbars. Layers. Importing/exporting files between softwares.

2D commands and 2D sketch:
Creating 2d primitives: Lines, polylines, circumference, arcs, curves,etc. Modeling with coordinates, “snaps” e “smartrack”.
Editing curves.

3D Commands:
Modeling from bidimensional shapes: Extrude, loft, revolve, sweep, nurbs, etc. Modeling with primitive solids e Mesh solids: Booleans, taper, control point editing, etc. Structuring the steps of modeling in advance to be able to create a complex 3d shape. T-Spline complex surface modeling and creating of 3D solid from that.
Tutorials:
2D drawing, 3D object creating.

Teaching Methods

EVALUATION


In the NORMAL SEASON assessment students may choose one of two schemes: Continuous or Final Assessment.


1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME



Evaluation Components:

a. Class participation: 20%;

b. Work developed during the period with the accompaniment of the teacher, which must be submitted, at least, to a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40%;

c. Presentation and defense of the work developed during the classes, which occurs during the "Regular Season Evaluations": 40%.


2. FINAL EVALUATION SCHEME


a. Work developed during the period with the teacher's accompaniment: 40%;

b. Examination based on the contents taught: 60%.
