Desenho e Técnicas de Modelação 3D

There are no limitations regarding basic knowledge for attending the course unit.

The theoretical component of the course will utilise the lecture method, complemented by practical application examples.

The practical component will use practical application examples, prioritising the exchange of ideas, approach, and problem-solving by the students themselves throughout the class.

The visualisation/use of the SolidWorks software, version 2024, will support both case studies. The two components will be interconnected, with application examples used to acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge.

Objectives:

Drawing and three-dimensional modelling skills are essential in biomedical engineering. Therefore, this course aims to equip future biomedical engineers with the skills necessary to interpret and create mechanical construction drawings. Thus, the objective is to acquire skills in reading, analysing, and executing drawings of mechanical components, both individual and in assemblies, using traditional methods and computer-aided design (CAD) tools.

Generic skills:

Promote the  learning process of exchanging ideas and discussing problems and solutions related to the design of mechanical components, with a particular interest in the field of biomedical engineering.

Specific skills:

Knowing how to prepare technical drawings and schematics, either using traditional methods or the latest computer-aided design tools and creating dimensioned parts and assemblies using a CAD system and converting 3D models into 2D drawings according to existing standards.
