Computer Aided Design

CAD (computer-aided design) software and CAM (computer aided manufacturing) technologies are used by architects, engineers, drafters, artists, and others to create precision drawings or technical illustrations. CAD software can be used to create two-dimensional (2D) drawings or three-dimensional (3D) models. 

Students will become familiar with a range of graphic techniques and conventions used in industry today. They will undertake a range of tasks that allow them to develop proficiency in the use of CAD- CAM technology using software such as AutoCAD, CorelDraw and Fusion 360 for 3D modelling. Students will then access our workshop and CAM technologies to manufacture the designs to complement their portfolio. 

CAD/CAM is recommended for both boys and girls and gives an excellent grounding for Technologies courses offered in Year 11 and 12.
