Content
CAD is a digital tool which assists the mechanical designer in his daily work. The mechanical designer: • Designs mechanical systems, • Projects (draws), • Sizes the mechanical components, • Defines the technological characteristics, • Specifies the technical features, • Guides the production department. Each session includes a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part allows the student to improve his knowledge in the following areas: • Use of CAD software: brings together the computer tools that make it possible to carry out a geometric modeling of an object in order to be able to simulate tests with a view to manufacturing, • Use of PLM software: corresponds to all the processes, technologies, software and methods put in place to properly manage the life cycle of a product. The practical part allows the student to apply his knowledge through a team project comprising the following phases: • Discovery of the main functions of the CAD tool and configuration of the 3D model, • Complete modeling of the project proposed by the teacher, • Integration of CAD data into the PLM, • Creation of definition plans for each part, and overall drawings, • Writing of a complete mechanical design report.

Pre-requisites / co-requisites
The knowledge that characterizes these training courses corresponds to the Physics & Engineering Sciences program (PSI) of the preparatory classes. It is a transversal approach to digital, mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, mechanics, technical drawing, materials science and technology as well as mechanical machining.
