Description
CATIA CAD Software Course – Beginner to Advanced
Master CATIA CAD software through a practical engineering design program covering 2D sketching, 3D part modeling, assemblies, surface design, drafting, sheet metal, mold design, reverse engineering, analysis, and manufacturing workflows.
This 12-week program takes students from fundamental CAD concepts to advanced parametric modeling, Generative Shape Design (GSD), GD&T, FEA basics, CAM, CNC workflows, and engineering documentation.
Students complete practical mechanical assignments and a final capstone project to develop industry-oriented CATIA design and engineering skills.
What You’ll Learn
✓ Understand CAD fundamentals, engineering workflows, product development, and PLM concepts.
✓ Create fully constrained engineering sketches using the CATIA Sketcher Workbench.
✓ Build professional 3D components using Part Design tools and parametric modeling techniques.
✓ Create complex surfaces using Generative Shape Design (GSD).
✓ Build and manage mechanical assemblies, constraints, BOMs, and exploded views.
✓ Prepare manufacturing drawings with GD&T, tolerances, welding, and surface-finish symbols.
✓ Design sheet-metal components, flat patterns, bends, flanges, and manufacturing-ready parts.
✓ Understand mold design, core and cavity creation, draft analysis, and manufacturing feasibility.
✓ Work with point clouds, STL data, freeform surfaces, and reverse-engineering workflows.
✓ Learn introductory FEA, CAM, toolpaths, CNC, DFM, and engineering analysis workflows.
