What modules are included in the course?

Modules that are included in the course are:
Sketching: 2D sketch geometry defines the cross-sectional shape used to create a base solid body or the shape used to create a feature on an existing solid body. Sketches are drawn in 3D on either a planar face or a reference plane. Student can lock onto a planar face or reference plane to draw sketch geometry.

Modeling: Solid modeling (or modelling) is a consistent set of principles for mathematical and computer modeling of three-dimensional solids. Solid modeling is distinguished from related areas of geometric modeling and computer graphics by its emphasis on physical fidelity.

Assembly: A software assembly is a collection of multiple 'built' configuration items, some or all of which have their own development process and their own release identifiers. These complete items are incorporated together into an assembly.

Drafting & Detailing: It refers to the act or process of producing a technical drawing, or draft as well as art of producing technical drawings.

Sheet Metal: Sheet Metal parts are manufactured from a single sheet of metal the part must maintain a uniform wall thickness. Sheet metal parts with a minimum of 0.9mm to 20mm in thickness can be manufactured. When designing parts for laser cutting one should not make holes smaller than the thickness of the material.

Surface Design: Surface modeling gives the ability to build out a visual representation of an object's exterior and its contours. In other words, it's a surface. These objects can be mechanical components like an engine - or complex organic shapes like animals.
