AMFG 1210 - Prototyping With Solidworks

4.5 Credits

Students explore the SolidWorks Interface and use fundamental techniques, tools, and workflows to bring prototypes to life in three dimensions. Through hands-on exercises, assignments, and projects, students use digital sketch tools to draw, create, and modify solids and complex shapes and then print the shapes, parts and assemblies using a variety of materials and equipment.

Note: Successful completion of AMFG 1210 and AMFG 1320 prepares students to sit for the CSWA exam.

Prerequisites: (1) AMFG 1000 must be completed prior to this course.
