Computer-aided Design (CAD) Lab
Get hands-on experience using state-of-the-art CAD tools.
About the CAD lab
Computer-aided Design, or CAD, is the process of communicating an idea from an abstract representation, hand drawing or sketch into something that can be clearly understood or even manufactured by others.
This is where you’ll get get hands-on experience using state-of-the-art CAD tools. These tools are linked to a rapid prototyping or manufacturing capability.
The computers in the lab are equipped with 3D and 2D software packages such as Pro-Engineer, Solidworks, Engineering Desktop and AutoCad.
The CAD lab is used by students in Engineering, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, and Product Design, featuring in many modules across the these subjects.
