TDD 216 - Three Dimensional CADD

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Drafting And Design Technology

Description:

This course provides instruction in advanced computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) techniques in addition to creation of three-dimensional drawings. Students progress from two-dimensional projection to wireframe, surface modeling, solids modeling and rendering techniques. Emphasis will be placed on maximizing a personal computer-based CADD system to develop a series of increasingly difficult drafting assignments and ending with a presentation quality final project and portfolio of completed drawings. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Describe user coordinate systems, workplanes and coordinate data, using absolute, relative, polar and spherical coordinates, as well as coordinate filters, to create planar, prismatic and three-dimensional curved features on drawings; Create semi and logarithmic scales and charts, as well as three-dimensional pictorial line and pie charts, bar graphs, scatter plots and surface plots; Construct three-dimensional drawings consisting of wireframe, primitives and solids; and utilize software features to determine the mass properties of a three-dimensional solid models; Utilize descriptive geometry techniques to draft three-dimensional intersections and developments; Compose axonometric, oblique and perspective view drawings; Construct orthographic, isometric and auxiliary view drawings utilizing parametric modeling software; Develop three-dimensional drawings to include assembly drawings using parametric constraint/ modeling techniques; Make sections, profiles and cut away views of three-dimensional objects, including constrained drawings; Apply intermediate to advanced rendering, shading and animation techniques to optimize technical design presentations; Use various display, drawing and plotter parameters and commands to satisfy the specific requirements of a 3D design/drafting assignment.
