About Mechanical Engineering CAD

Computer aided design (CAD) uses specialist software to create two and three dimensional images and animations of projects both in manufacturing and for use in advertising and technical manuals. CAD can convey many types of information, including dimensions, types of material, and tolerances and is essential in offering solutions to both engineering and manufacturing problems. By producing photorealistic animations and videos, it can simulate how a design will actually function in the real world .

The Challenge

Competitors are required to:

  • Produce 3D solid models of the component presented in isometric, orthographic views, and sectional drawings from a provided physical component and point cloud data;
  • Prepare assembly drawings and 2D fabrication detail drawings of each component and assembly required for manufacturing purposes based on given drafts, notes, or physical models, etc.
  • Implement engineering change orders by modifying existing components and assemblies, and adaptation of new parts and fixtures to existing parts and assemblies;
  • Design parts and assemblies that satisfy technical specifications, performance requirements, and operational needs; and
  • Prepare animated videos as necessary.
