OVERVIEW:

Join us on another learning session as part of our initiative to equip educators, students, engineers and professionals on how to utilize CAD software in 3D modelling, teaching everything you need to create 3D models from your 2D designs, and work in the 3D environment.

OBJECTIVE:

This webinar session provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of 3D and explores the main features of the advanced 3D Modeling workspace using CAD software.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is for users proficeint in using CAD software to produce 2D drawings who now want to take advantage of CAD's 3D drawing and modelling capabilities.
