Advanced Certificate in Mechanical CADD

The Advanced Certificate course at CADD Centre Lanka allows you to have a basic + intermediate level learning in your respective field. All Advanced Certificate programs are a combination of 2 (or 3) certificate level programs that broaden your skill set in the chosen domain.

Since our courses are skill based, the basic minimum educational qualification to join an Advanced Certificate programme is A Level. However certain advanced tools might require a pre-requisite, kindly cross check with the program coordinator for course specific details.

AutoCAD

AutoCAD module will teach the students to handle the software with the basic tools and they will learn how to plan and draft 2D drawings, which will then advance up to the 3D designs level.

SolidWorks

SolidWorks is a 3D CAD software tool that transports all tasks involved in product development into the visual and electronic 3D world for better collaboration.

Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Inventor, like SolidWorks, can help you convert your ideas into product designs quickly, and effectively. As an engineer or designer, you can produce an animated movie of your 3D product design almost instantly. This will help you communicate your product ideas better to a non-technical person.

CATIA

CATIA stands for Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application, it is a Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application and is a software tool predominantly used in the Automobile/Aerospace Industry for 3D Modelling and advanced surface design.

This Advanced Certificate is offered to students to be qualified to use the software through Three pathways, which are:

Pathway 1

Autodesk AutoCAD 2D & 3D + SolidWorks

Pathway 2

Autodesk AutoCAD 2D & 3D + CATIA

Pathway 3

Autodesk AutoCAD 2D & 3D + Autodesk Inventor
