Study Objective:

The main aim of the subject is to give information to students about the basics rule and work system within the SolidWorks CAD system. This CAD system is very often used in real practice and within the health care applications as well. We have a lot of licences (app. 500) for the whole faculty. Manuals are available in the faculty library as well. Within the subject there will be effort to create constructional drawing of the real product at the end of term.
