Any designed mechanical project, large or small, needs to be specified in some plans that will be the work base of other departments to carry out the manufacture of the parts, the assembly of the sets, operation or maintenance manuals, realization of commercial offers, spare parts, and many other tasks. The most advanced companies have powerful  design and production tools to create virtual models  used to automate all subsequent tasks. Becoming an  expert CAD-CAM programmer  is synonymous with the future.

This  University Specialization Diploma  in Mechanical Design and CAD-CAM Systems It will enable you to create and interpret plans of all kinds where you can specify your mechanical designs, create virtual 3D models, animate them and make photorealistic presentations. You will learn to manually program, under ISO code, the numerical controls (CNC), and to manufacture the parts on these machines. Finally you will be able to obtain, in an automated way, the numerical control program through agile CAM systems.

course objectives: Diploma of University Specialization in Mechanical Design and CAD-CAM Systems

You will learn to:

• Integrate the different technologies that influence the design, prototyping, and  final manufacturing process of mechanical components
• Trace machining strategies , and master the main CNC programming language: the ISO code language. For this, a CNC simulator will be used
• Know ISO programming through the use of a numerical control  widely implemented in the market, providing a basis that can serve to assume programming through other controls
• Use CAM systems, and generate with them the CNC programs under ISO code, starting from virtual models in 2D and 3D. For this you  will use CAM Express , it is the NX CAM module, the most prestigious CAD-CAM-CAE system that exists.
• Know and master 3D CAD systems, using a high-level 3D CAD system:  Solid Edge , with which you will create virtual models
• Perform dynamic simulations , photorealistic presentations, modify projects and automatically reflect changes in all documents, export models to standard file formats that will be used by most software, etc. Mastering the main CNC programming  language (language under ISO code), as well as making an introduction to CAM systems. For this, a CNC simulator will be used, and a CAM program provided to the student
• Know and  master 3D CAD systems , using a high-level CAD system  : Solid Edge

professional outings: Diploma of University Specialization in Mechanical Design and CAD-CAM Systems

With this course you will be able to train to work as:

• Responsibility positions in technical offices, production departments, or maintenance in general
• Responsible for technical office, draftsmen, designers, industrial design of final product, machines, and tools
• Workers from quality departments, R&D, or materials laboratories
• CAD, CNC and CAM system operators, workshop managers / managers, maintenance, etc.

San Jorge University degree

Upon successful completion of the course, you will obtain a University Specialization Diploma in Mechanical Design and CAD-CAM Systems , issued by  Universidad San Jorge  (42 ECTS credits).

To access one of our  University Specialization Diplomas, the following  must be compulsorily completed:

• Being over 18 years*

* In this case, the title of Expert is issued indicating the content and duration of the study in hours. It does not award ECTS.

Or meet one of these requirements:

• Be in possession  of the Baccalaureate degree or equivalent  (also European and International Baccalaureate)
• To be in possession of the title of  Superior Technician of Professional Training , or Superior Technician in  Plastic Arts and Design  or  Superior Sports Technician .
• Be  over 25 years of age with at least one year of  accredited professional experience related to the content of the training.
• Be a university graduate or be studying a degree at the San Jorge University itself.

If this last access requirement is met, the degree issued will be a University Specialization Diploma  (42 ECTS credits). Otherwise, the student will obtain a Specialization Diploma .
