About the CAD / CAM course

CADD & Design · 6 months · Jalandhar, Punjab

CAD / CAM is the set of software skills that turns an idea or a hand sketch into an accurate drawing, a 3D model and, finally, a part that can be machined on the shop floor. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) covers 2D drafting, 3D part modelling, assemblies and production drawings, while Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) covers preparing those models for CNC machining. Together they form one of the most practical skill sets for anyone planning a career in mechanical design, drafting, manufacturing or building design.

The CAD / CAM course in Jalandhar is designed to help students, diploma holders, ITI draughtsmen, engineering graduates and working technicians build hands-on ability across the packages design offices actually use — AutoCAD for 2D and 3D drafting, SolidWorks for part and assembly modelling, an introduction to CATIA and Creo, Revit for building models, and the basics of CAM toolpaths and CNC. The course moves from drafting discipline to full 3D modelling and production drawings, so learners understand the complete workflow rather than isolated commands.

Jalandhar has a strong base of hand-tool, sports-goods, auto-parts, rubber and fabrication units, along with architects and civil contractors, and many of these businesses depend on accurate drawings every day. Learning CAD / CAM locally keeps the training connected to the kind of components, drawings and job roles found in and around the city.

Every module ends with a drawing set that meets drawing-office standards — correct layers, dimensions, tolerances, title block and print scale — because that is what a design office checks first. By the end of the course, learners have a portfolio of drawings, models and assemblies they created themselves.

Offered by Techcadd in Jalandhar, this program combines structured classroom teaching with daily lab practice, making it suitable for beginners as well as for those who already know one package and want to add the others.

Get hands-on, practical training in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit and CAM basics — from your first 2D drawing to a complete portfolio — with guided support at every step.

Several Industry Packages in One Sequence

Design offices rarely work in a single software package. A drawing may start in AutoCAD, be modelled in SolidWorks, and be exchanged with a client who uses CATIA or Creo. This program teaches AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo and Revit in one structured sequence, so learners understand how the packages relate to each other instead of treating each as a separate subject.

Drawing-Office Standards From Day One

A drawing is judged by its accuracy and its presentation. Layers, linetypes, dimensioning, tolerances, title blocks and print scale are checked on every submission throughout the course. This habit of producing drawings to standard is often what separates a trained draughtsman from someone who only knows the commands.

From 2D Drafting to 3D Modelling

The course begins with 2D drafting discipline and then moves into 3D parts, assemblies and production drawings. Learning in this order helps students understand why a 3D model is built the way it is, and how views, sections and dimensions on a drawing are derived from it.

CAD Connected to CAM

A design is only useful if it can be manufactured. The program introduces how a finished model is prepared for CNC machining — stock, tools, toolpaths, simulation and G-code basics — so learners understand what happens to a drawing after it leaves the design office.

Hands-On, Practice-Based Format

CAD software is best learned by drawing, not by watching. Each class is spent on a lab computer working through drawings and models, with the trainer checking work at the desk. Repeated practice on different components builds the speed and confidence that interviews and practical tests look for.

Locally Relevant for Jalandhar's Industry

Jalandhar's hand-tool, sports-goods, auto-parts and fabrication units, along with local architects and civil contractors, regularly need people who can read and produce drawings. Practice components and building plans in the course are chosen to resemble the work these employers actually do.

A Portfolio You Can Show

Students leave with a printed and digital portfolio of drawings, part models, assemblies and a building plan. A portfolio gives an employer something concrete to assess and gives the learner specific work to talk about in an interview.

Beginner-Friendly Structure

The course starts with engineering drawing fundamentals — projections, views, scales and dimensioning — before any advanced software topic. Learners who have not studied engineering drawing before can follow along, while those who have can move through the first module faster.

Supports Career Flexibility

CAD / CAM skills are not tied to one job title. They are useful for draughtsman, CAD operator, design trainee, architectural assistant and CNC-support roles, and for people who run or work in a family fabrication or manufacturing business.

Offered by Techcadd in Jalandhar

This program is delivered by Techcadd in Jalandhar, combining structured course content with daily lab practice, so learners leave with usable drafting and modelling skills rather than only certificate-level familiarity.

Structured, Step-by-Step Learning

The program follows a logical path — engineering drawing basics, AutoCAD 2D, AutoCAD 3D, SolidWorks parts, assemblies and drawings, CATIA and Creo, Revit, CAM basics and finally standards and portfolio work. Each stage builds on the one before, which makes a large syllabus manageable.

Doubt-Resolution and Guided Support

Beginners often get stuck on small things — an under-defined sketch, a failed feature, a wrong mate or a drawing that prints at the wrong scale. Having a trainer available during practice means these problems are explained and corrected as they arise instead of becoming a reason to give up.

Licensed Lab Software

The lab runs licensed or education-licensed installations, and students are shown the legitimate student versions they can install at home for extra practice. Learners are encouraged to practise outside class, because consistent practice matters as much as instruction.

Batches That Fit Around Studies and Work

Morning, evening and weekend batches make it possible for college students, ITI trainees and working technicians to attend regularly. Consistent attendance is important in a six-month program where each module depends on the previous one.

Builds a Foundation for Further Learning

After this course, learners can go deeper into a single area — advanced SolidWorks, CNC programming, dedicated CAM packages, or building-design tools such as Revit and structural software — with the fundamentals already in place.

A Learning Environment Focused on Outcomes

The diploma is issued after a practical modelling and drafting assessment, not for attendance alone. Completing a software course does not by itself guarantee employment, but learners who finish with sound fundamentals, a checked portfolio and regular practice are in a much stronger position when they apply.

Section 02

What you will be able to do

Each outcome is assessed in the final practical test before the certificate is issued.

  • Read an engineering drawing and explain its views, sections, scales, dimensions and symbols.
  • Produce accurate 2D drawings in AutoCAD with correct layers, blocks, dimensions, annotation and plot settings.
  • Create 3D solids in AutoCAD using primitives, boolean operations, extrude, revolve, sweep and loft.
  • Model 3D parts in SolidWorks with fully defined sketches and a clean, editable feature tree.
  • Build assemblies with proper mates, exploded views and a bill of materials.
  • Generate production drawings with sections, detail views, tolerances and a title block.
  • Work in the CATIA and Creo part, assembly and drafting environments and exchange files between packages.
  • Create a basic building model in Revit with floor plans, elevations, sections and sheets.
  • Prepare a part for CNC machining: stock, tools, toolpaths, simulation and G-code basics.
  • Apply GD&T symbols and present a portfolio of drawings and models that a design office can assess.

Section 03

Curriculum

10 modules over 6 months. Every module ends with a practical file that is checked by your trainer.

    • Learners begin with the language of drawings — orthographic projection, first- and third-angle views, isometric views, sections, scales, line types and dimensioning rules.
    • This foundational stage ensures students can read a drawing correctly before they start producing one in software.

    • Students learn drawing setup, units and limits, coordinate entry, object snaps, and the full range of draw and modify commands used in everyday drafting.
    • Important topics include: layers, linetypes and properties, blocks and attributes, external references, hatching, text and dimension styles, layouts, viewports, plot scale and printing to PDF.
    • Practice drawings are taken from machine components and building plans, and each one is checked for layer discipline, dimensioning and title block.

    • Learners move into the 3D workspace and user coordinate systems, and create solids using primitives, boolean operations, extrude, revolve, sweep and loft.
    • The module also covers materials, lighting and basic rendering, and generating 2D drawing views from a 3D model.

    • Students learn sketching with dimensions and geometric relations, and convert fully defined sketches into parts using extrudes, cuts, revolves, sweeps, lofts, Hole Wizard, fillets, chamfers, shells, patterns and mirrors.
    • Emphasis is placed on design intent and a clean feature tree, so that a model can be modified easily when a dimension or requirement changes.
    • Reference geometry — planes, axes and coordinate systems — and an introduction to sheet-metal and weldment parts are also covered.

    • After individual parts, learners build assemblies by inserting components and defining their relationships with mates, including subassemblies and exploded views.
    • They then create production drawings from the models: standard, section and detail views, dimensions, annotations, tolerances, a bill of materials and a title block.
    • This module shows how a change to the 3D model updates the associated drawing, which is central to a professional CAD workflow.

    • Students are introduced to the part design, assembly and drafting environments of CATIA and Creo, along with the basics of surface modelling.
    • The focus is on recognising how the same modelling ideas — sketches, features, constraints and drawings — appear in different packages, and on exchanging files between them using neutral formats.

    • Learners create a basic building model using levels, grids, walls, doors, windows, floors, roofs and stairs, and work with families.
    • They generate floor plans, elevations and sections from the model, and prepare sheets and schedules for printing and export — useful for those targeting architect and contractor offices.

    • This module introduces how a finished model is prepared for machining: defining stock and work coordinate system, selecting tools, and creating basic 2D and 3D toolpaths.
    • Students simulate the toolpath, check for errors, and learn to read simple G-codes and M-codes, so they understand how a CNC program relates to the drawing.
    • The depth here is introductory; learners who want to specialise can continue with a dedicated CNC programming or CAM course.

    • Students learn common geometric dimensioning and tolerancing symbols, datums, limits and fits, and surface-finish symbols, and practise applying them to their own drawings.
    • Drawing checking, revision control and file formats — DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES and PDF — are also covered.

    • Learners collect their best drawings, part models, assemblies and building plan into a printed and digital portfolio, with guidance on how to present it in an interview.
    • The course ends with a practical modelling and drafting assessment, after which the diploma is issued.

Who this course is for

If you are unsure whether it fits, counselling is free and takes fifteen minutes.

Suitable for

  • 12th-Pass Students — Students who have completed 10+2, particularly with maths or a technical subject, can use this course to build a practical skill before or alongside further studies. Starting early gives them time to become comfortable with drawings and 3D models, and can help them decide whether mechanical design, civil drafting or manufacturing is the direction they want to pursue.
  • ITI and Diploma Students — ITI draughtsmen, fitters, machinists and diploma students in mechanical, civil, production or automobile trades are among the most common learners. They already understand drawings and components, and the course adds the software skills needed to produce those drawings and models on a computer rather than only reading them.
  • Engineering Students and Graduates — B.Tech students and graduates often find that their degree covers design theory but offers limited software practice. Working through parts, assemblies and drawings in the lab helps them connect classroom subjects such as engineering drawing, machine design and manufacturing to actual CAD work, and gives them a portfolio for campus and off-campus interviews.
  • Architecture and Civil Students — Students of architecture, civil engineering and interior design can use the AutoCAD and Revit modules to prepare plans, elevations, sections and sheet sets. These are everyday requirements in architect and contractor offices in Jalandhar and nearby cities.
  • Job Seekers — For those applying for draughtsman, CAD operator or design-trainee roles, employers frequently set a practical drawing test. Structured practice and a checked portfolio help job seekers handle these tests with more confidence and reduce the learning curve once they start working.
  • Working Technicians and Supervisors — People already working on the shop floor, in a tool room, in quality inspection or in production often join to move towards design, drawing-office or CNC-programming responsibilities. CAD / CAM knowledge can widen the kind of work they are trusted with.
  • Fabrication and Manufacturing Unit Owners — Owners and family members running small fabrication, tooling or manufacturing units in Jalandhar can benefit from being able to prepare, read and modify drawings themselves, communicate clearly with customers, and understand how a design becomes a CNC job.

Eligibility

  • The CAD / CAM course in Jalandhar is open to learners from a range of backgrounds. 10+2, ITI, diploma or engineering education is preferred, but the course starts from engineering drawing fundamentals, so prior drawing knowledge is helpful rather than compulsory.
  • Basic computer knowledge — using a mouse and keyboard, and saving and organising files — is expected. Learners who have never used a computer are advised to complete a basic computer course first.
  • An engineering degree is not required to learn the software. However, software proficiency does not replace engineering fundamentals, and more advanced design work benefits from knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes and tolerances.
  • Please verify the latest course details, fees, schedule, certification and availability directly with Techcadd before enrolling.
