FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SolidWorks is a professional-grade parametric CAD software primarily used for mechanical design, while Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD/CAM/CAE platform that combines industrial and mechanical design with collaboration tools. SolidWorks is more established in traditional manufacturing, while Fusion 360 offers more flexibility with cloud features and is popular among startups and makers.

No prior CAD experience is required. The course starts with the fundamentals and progresses to advanced topics. We cover everything from basic terminology and interface navigation to complex modeling techniques.

For optimal performance with SolidWorks and Fusion 360, we recommend:

Processor: Intel Core i7 or equivalent
RAM: 16GB minimum (32GB recommended for complex assemblies)
Graphics: Dedicated GPU with at least 4GB VRAM
Storage: SSD with at least 20GB free space
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit (SolidWorks doesn't run on macOS natively)

Upon successful completion of all course requirements including assignments, projects, and assessments, students will receive:

Mechanical Design Certificate from CAD Academy
TVEC accredited certification (for Sri Lankan students)
Option to take Autodesk certification exams (additional fee may apply)

We provide comprehensive support for students who miss classes:

Recorded sessions available through our Learning Management System
Access to course materials and assignments online
Dedicated student support system for questions
Option to attend the missed session with the next batch (subject to availability)

We offer flexible payment options:
