Learning outcomes
The CAD - Constructive Geometry course develops knowledge of constructive geometry and virtual spatial design using a computer with 3D CAD software. The aim is to practically master the basic geometry and parametric design of bodies and machine parts using constructive geometry and spatial modelling tools. The course introduces the basics of constructive geometry, projection, creation of points, lines, planar and volumetric solids, creating profiles, working with tree structure with emphasis on model and drawing consistency in terms of datum, dimensional and geometric tolerances and surface roughness. Editing and generation of two-dimensional technical documentation, production engineering drawings.
Students will gain knowledge in a given subject in accordance with the objective and content.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of mathematics and geometry.

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

Credit: 80% attendance, successful completion of tests and individual tasks of spatial design using knowledge of constructive geometry and CAD, independently created model of the body of a structural part (e.g. turned and milled parts from a sketchbook, real model of a casting and workpiece according to a template). Creation of a drawing of structural parts and assemblies. Submission of properly prepared templates in terms of content and content for practice. Preparation of a credit test - model of a real part.
