Certified Mechanical CAD Specialist

A Mechanical CAD Specialist excels in designing accurate 2D and 3D models for mechanical components and systems. Key responsibilities include creating detailed technical drawings, assembling multi-part models, simulating real-world conditions, and preparing designs for manufacturing. This role connects the dots between innovative ideas and their practical execution, streamlining the product development process.

Prerequisites

Candidates should possess a high school diploma and basic knowledge of mechanical engineering concepts. Familiarity with any CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or CATIA) is recommended but not mandatory. A good command of English is also essential.

Course Objectives

The Certified Mechanical CAD Specialist program is designed to develop the technical expertise required for creating and optimizing mechanical designs. The primary objective is to equip students with skills in 2D drafting, 3D modeling, assembly design, and simulation analysis to produce precise, industry-standard mechanical components and systems ready for manufacturing and real-world applications.
