Mechanical AutoCAD – 2D + 3D Syllabus

The foundations of mechanical drafting and design using AutoCAD software are covered in the **Mechanical AutoCAD – 2D + 3D syllabus**. Using drawing and editing tools, students learn how to produce precise 2D mechanical drawings of machine parts, components, and assemblies. Concepts of 3D modelling, such as building solid models, surfaces, and mechanical components, are also covered in the course. In order to prepare professional engineering drawings for manufacturing and design, learners acquire practical skills in dimensioning and annotation.

What You'll Learn
