Introduction to 3D Modeling and CAD with KOMPAS-3D

Computer graphics and 3D modeling are essential skills for future engineers, designers, and creators. This text-based course introduces you to KOMPAS-3D, a powerful computer-aided design (CAD) tool, tailored specifically for students and beginners. Through clear, step-by-step written explanations, you will transition from understanding basic geometric principles to constructing your own 3D parts and technical drawings. You will build a solid foundation in spatial thinking and digital drafting that prepares you for advanced engineering and design studies. What you'll learn: Understand the core principles of computer graphics and the KOMPAS-3D interface; Create precise 2D sketches using geometric constraints and dimensioning; Build 3D models using extrusion, rotation, and basic modeling operations; Assemble multiple parts into a cohesive 3D system; Generate standard engineering drawings directly from your 3D models; Apply modern parametric design practices to easily modify your creations. The course begins with fundamental concepts of computer graphics and navigating the software interface, followed by hands-on written explanations of sketching, part modeling, assembly creation, and drawing generation. This course is designed for middle and high school students, hobbyists, and absolute beginners with no prior experience in CAD or 3D modeling. Start your journey into the world of engineering and 3D design today.
