Computer Aided Manufacturing Training
Issued by
Badge Nation
Earners of this badge have learned how to prototype objects or products in order to digitally design forms and components in 2D and 3D using CAD software. They then made their own object or product using CAM software and operated digital fabrication machines under the supervision of staff in Fab Lab Plymouth. This training is suitable for earners of the CAD Training badges or individuals with existing CAD skills.

Earning Criteria
-
Earner was selected to take part in this training based on CAD (Computer Aided Design) skills level and their idea for a personal or business project to design and make an object or product as part of this training.
-
Earner has gone through the prototyping process to turn their idea to a working object or product by defining the use case, tangible specifications, ergonomics and mechanics as well as material used.
-
Earner has designed their object or product using CAD software Autodesk Fusion 360 with the support of tutors during this training.
-
Earner was able to pick the most suitable manufacturing process (additive or subtractive) and digital fabrication machine (3D printer, CNC, Laser Cutter, etc.) and has operated the most suitable machine using CAM software such as Solidworks and Cura to make their own object or product in Fab Lab Plymouth.
-
Earner has completed this hands on training by developing CAM skills and knowledge of small scale production.
-
This badge is open to all.
Standards
