Drafting and Computer-Aided Design 10, 20, 30
Design, model and fabricate a product.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Manipulate an existing model in a three dimensional (3D) environment. |
| (b) | Investigate commercial and industrial applications of CAD. |
| (c) | Explore significance of CAD in the operation of manufacturing equipment (e.g., 3D printer, CNC mill, lathe). |
| (d) | Create models of objects in a 3D environment. |
| (e) |
Develop prototypes to address specific needs based on selected criteria (e.g., use, quantity, cost) following a standard design process, including:
|
| (f) | Generate sketches of concepts. |
| (g) | Generate working drawings of models. |
| (h) | Create 3D objects using available equipment (e.g., 3D printer, CNC mill, lathe). |
| (i) | Investigate alternatives to materials used in fabricated products. |
| (j) |
Calculate costs associated with producing a designed and fabricated product.
|
| (k) | Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the computer fabrication of products in the context of ethical implications, cost production (single vs mass), and environmental issues. |
| (l) | Discuss copyright and patent implications of designs. |
| (m) | Predict future possibilities and implications of fabrication technology. |
