Course detail
CAD Systems
FSI-RS2 Acad. year: 2018/2019 Summer semester
The course deepens students’ knowledge of modern technology and modern methods used in the development and design of a product. Work methods used in a mainstream CAD systems are explained.
Importance is placed on understanding each stage of the 3D model production. This course acquaints students with modern prototype product technologies as rapid prototyping. Next, reverse engineering methods are described. Information about RE is aimed at technical principles, principles of space data obtained, and methods of data processing.
The course has been upgraded with the support of the OPVK project. "The Studio digital sculpture and new media project", reg. No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0278, is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the statebudget of the Czech Republic.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will have an overview of CAD system properties used in the design, construction processes and in prototyping.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have basic knowledge of designing machine parts and machine nodes, as well as computer knowledge.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit: active attendance in practices, presentation of project results.
Examination: defence of semestral project, delivery of project results in paper an digital form. Form of project results delivery:
1. 3D digital model
2. Powerpoint presentation
3. Technical report in paper form
4. Four reference pictures in PNG or JPEG (min. resolution 1600x1080)
Examination: student must pass the final test to complete the course.
Aims
The course explains the principles of Computer Aided Design systems, methods of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping.
Students will become familiar with the problems of reverse engineering and additive manufacturing technologies.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Participation in the exercises is obligatory and is controlled by the teacher. Absences can be compensated in exceptional and well-founded cases – to be determined by the course supervisor
