CAD (Computer Aided Design) provides a convenient mean to create designs for almost every engineering discipline. It can be used for architectural design, landscape design, interior design, mechanical design, plant design, industrial design, duct design and product design. The laboratory will help the students to model the machnines in 2D and 3D and also to anlayze the same using computer software packages like AutoCAD, Ansys, etc.

The following are the main objectives of CAD Lab:

• To present an overview of CADD and describe its applications in different fields.
• To present an overview of CADD and describe its applications in different fields.
• To describe common terms associated with CADD hardware and software.
• Model the 3-D geometric information of machine components including assemblies, and automatically generate 2-D production drawings
• Understand the basic analytical fundamentals that are used to create and manipulate     geometric models in a computer program,
• Improve visualization ability of machine components and assemblies before their actual fabrication through modelling, animation, shading, rendering, etc.
• Model complex shapes including freeform curves and surfaces.
