Course Overview
The Indira Gandhi National Open University offers the CAD/CAM certification course. It is spread over six weeks and is a core type of study. The course falls under the domain of mechanical engineering
The CAD/CAM certification curriculum extensively covers all the concepts related to the process use of computers and the software. Through this course, the learners can gain deep insights into Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Topics include 2D and 3D modelling, wireframe and solid modelling, CNC operations, Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS), Management Information Systems (MIS) and robotics.
Moreover, the CAD/CAM online training contents have been designed to match students' academic requirements for pursuing a diploma. The programme will be taught by Dr K Tamil Mannan, who is currently working as the Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at IGNOU, New Delhi. With over twenty-three years of academic teaching experience, the students can be assured of imbibing high quality and industry-standard knowledge.
