Design for manufacturing for CNC machining

This course gives designers and engineers the skills to confidently design 3D parts for machining, covering many Design for Manufacture considerations.

<p><strong>About this course.</strong></p><p>In this course we will explore CNC machining, which is one of the cornerstones of modern manufacturing.</p><p>We will briefly cover what CNC machining entails, including different types of CNC machines and how to choose the best one for your project.</p><p></p><p>Next we will explore practical Design for Manufacture (DFM) tips, like tolerances and part optimization, that can help you create parts that are practical and manufacturable.</p><p></p><p>After covering these key DFM aspects, we will further explain them in a practical setting by undertaking a case study based on a machined enclosure.</p><p></p><p><strong>Who should take this course.</strong></p><p>This course is for designers, engineers, students and hobbyists who have some 3D modelling knowledge but are trying to improve their manufacturing skills.</p><p></p><p><strong>Pre-requisites.</strong></p><p>SolidWorks 2022 or a later version is recommended for this course but earlier versions can be used.</p><p>Access to SolidWorks software is optional, not essential.</p>
