Week 7
For this week’s lesson, we learnt about product development using Computer-aided Drafting and Drawing (CADD). Introduction to Computer-aided Drafting and Drawing (CADD) Computer-aided Drafting and Drawing is the use of software to sketch and design physical components. We will refer to Computer-aided Drafting and Drawing as CADD in this blog for convenience. With the help of CADD, shapes and lines can be crafted easily and the content can be easily copied, shared, edited and saved. CADD also allows accurate calculation of dimensions. Advanced CADD software is also able to estimate the classification and quantity of material used or the length of manufacturing time required, which facilitates budget planning. Hence, it will be useful to learn how to use and apply CADD as it will help us in product design in the long term. Pre-Lesson Activity Before W7’s lesson, we had to download Autodesk Fusion 360, which is the CADD software that we would be using. We had to acquire some basic skills...
