Computer Aided Design (CAD)

  • CAD, or computer-aided design

and drafting (CADD), is technology for design and technical documentation, which replaces manual drafting with an automated process. (AutoCAD, 2019)

  • There many different types of

software packages aimed at specific users and target audience.

  • Selecting the right software to

meet your needs is very important.

Examples of Infusing CAD and 3D Printing Into Curriculum

  • One doesn’t have to be an engineer to utilize CAD in curriculum.
  • The Departments of Technology and Human Ecology held a six week

workshop with fashion merchandise students.

  • The goal of the workshop was to teach the fashion students to utilize

CAD and 3D printing to design fashion accessories for a fashion show.

Identifying Your Need: Guided Questions

  • What application do you need CAD/3D printing for?
  • Modeling, Schematic, prototyping, tooling, 3D printing, virtual reality,

architecture, project planning, etc.

  • What CAD software will best suit your needs?
  • Basic: For developing basic shapes, not extremely detailed orientated, direct

application, limited design tools, and not a steep learning curve.

  • Intermediate: Developed for more specific applications and user specifications,

has a more detailed design tool suite, might have a cost, may require user practice to master tool usage.

  • Advanced: Software designed for specific applications (building information

modeling, architecture, simulation, project management etc), typically does have a cost, and does require mastery of tools for usage.

Basic CAD Design Software

  • Tinker CAD is a very user friendly and free to use basic design software.

The makers of Tinker CAD is Autodesk. (Often referred to as Baby AutoCAD)

  • AutoDesk created a design software for middle and high school students

to start utilizing CAD and 3D printing/modeling in STEM programs.

  • This software has a lot of easy to use tools and is completely online. No

need to download any software.

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Basic CAD Design Software Continued

  • 3D Slash is a basic design software that is free to use and allows the

users to create or modify objects from basic geometric shapes.

  • 3D Slash is very easy to master and is quite fun!
  • This software allows the user to prepare 3D models for printing from

inside the program.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Intermediate CAD Software

  • On Shape is an integrative design platform that allows the user to

design parts, drawings, assemblies. (Free to Educators)

  • On Shape has features such bill of materials (BOM), product data

management (PDM) and other project management tools. (OnShape, 2014)

  • On Shape is commonly referred to as the “ Google Docs of CAD”
  • On Shape has a variety of online features like “setting up a class” with

learning lessons and tutorials.

  • The tool list for designing models is vast and has quite the extensive

library for specific applications.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Intermediate CAD Software Continued

  • Google SketckUp is a CAD software that allows the user to develop

their own design tools (or extensions), create 3D models quickly, and does not have steep learning curve.

  • You might have seen tv shows on HGTV utilize this software to show

their customers a new home or kitchen!

  • The extensions on Google Sketchup allow the user to replicate models or

assemblies in sketches such as rafters on a roof, fabric patterns, keys on a gear, design arrays, etc.

  • There is a free online version with limited tool sets. An education license

is about 55 dollars a year per seat.

SLIDE 15

Advanced CAD Software

  • AutoCADis computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and

construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings. (AutoCAD, 2019)

  • The specialized tool sets allow the users to create floor plans, 3D building models,

piping, electrical circuitry, and allows for users to create custom work flows, timelines, and useable data.

  • There is a free thirty license seat for Higher Education Institutions.
  • AutoCAD has various specialization packages for mechanical, electrical,

construction, and 3D.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Advanced CAD Software Continued

  • Solid Works is a 3D modeling software that integrates industry

applications to form a solid object, model operation or simulation, .

  • Solid works has an extensive 3D modeling tool selection. The use of tools

requires practice to reach a mastery level.

  • Typical higher education technology and engineering programs require

at least one to two semesters of training to utilize this software.

  • Like AutoCAD, Solid Works has various software packages and design

suites to meet an industry or specific application need.

How Does 3D Printing Work?

3dprinting.com (2019) states: “3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed

  • bject is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object

is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created.”

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Preparing Your Model for 3D Printing

  • The CAD software and 3D printer do not communicate directly. The file

types are typically incompatible.

  • The CAD file must exported to a file type that can be read by the 3D

printer or 3D printer software.

  • A standard file format is Stereo lithograph or commonly referred to as a STL file.
  • Once the model has been exported to a STL file or other readable format, the

model must be prepped to print using a 3D printer preparation software.

3D Printing an Object.

  • After preparation has been completed, the user is ready to print their

model or object.

  • The preparation software allows the user to verify dimensions, position,

build parameters of an object before being printed.

  • It is important to double check all parameters
  • Build speed
  • Raft or supports
  • Filament extrusion thickness
  • Type of filament
  • Position on the build tray (make sure the object is sitting on the

build tray)

  • Object orientation (if an object has a flat side, place that side on the

build tray)

  • Make sure enough material is there to complete the job.
  • Verify time to build.

Resources for CAD and 3D Printing

  • Thingiverse.com is a free share website with millions of objects already

created and free to modify and print.

  • Tinker CAD has various learning tutorials on their website.
  • Google SketchUp has free tutorials.
  • Many software vendors have free tutorials or instructional content
  • nline.
  • YouTube is a great source for figuring out how to utilize a tool. If you ever

get stuck, YouTube it!

  • Many CAD vendors offer educators curriculum guides and lesson

planning for free. They want you to utilize their software in the classroom!
