Learning outcomes The course continuous problems of best known CAD/CAM/CAE system. It covers
advanced modelling techniques. It introduces sheet metal design and motion sequence to
visualise mechanisms by using additional programming units.

Prerequisites Completed introductory courses3D Modelling I and II.
