CAD Engineer badge via Fusion 360
Functional
I can create systems in a CAD package
I can generate accurate sub-systems with inter-related geometries in both 2D and 3D
I can import and use 2D geometry from different file types (.dxf, .dwg etc) including diagrams sketches or maps, and use these to create 3D components
I can create versions and branches of designs
I can create surface models and work with sheet metal tools
I can create simple and complex 3D components that combine to meet a specific project brief
Deliverables
I can create realistic renders of complex virtual designs that consider real life textures, sizes, tones/shades, that reflect how a solution would both look and behave.
I can create exploded drawings to explain complex designs
I can simulate how a design will respond when forces / loads are applied to it
I can conduct testing, including those related to sustainable principles or manufacture, and extract suitable data that forms a report.
I can explore my system in testable locations using tools like Google Earth or AR viewers in order to simulate real world scenarios
Wider context
I can collaborate with others on a design, either in the software with other individuals or by using parts from a public or open library.
I can make a high-quality functional and testable outcome using a 3D printing or laser cutting equipment, and test it with a real user.
I can train another user to use a virtual environment to achieve explorer level
I can explain the importance of “design intent” - the order of design/ logical order of creating design
Example challenges
Design a fully assembled electro-mechnical product
