Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of CAD software (CATIA V5 preferred, but not mandatory). Interest in automotive product design or plastic component design. Access to a computer/laptop with CATIA V5 (or similar CAD tool) installed for practice. No prior experience in plastic trims required – concepts will be explained from basics.

Description

Are you ready to become an industry-ready CATIA V5 Design Engineer?
This course is designed to transform you from a beginner into a confident professional capable of handling real-world plastic and automotive component design projects. Whether you’re a student, fresher, or working engineer looking to upgrade your skills, this structured program will help you master CATIA V5 step by step.

We’ll start with the basics of plastics, understanding materials, manufacturing constraints, and design properties essential for modern product development. Then, we’ll move into the CATIA V5 Sketcher, covering almost every command used in industrial applications with practical examples and exercises.

Next, you’ll explore Part Modeling, where you’ll learn how to create parametric components with proper design intent, ensuring every part is efficient, editable, and production-ready. The course then advances into Surface Modeling, where you’ll gain hands-on experience with essential tools like Sweep, Multi-Section, and Power Copy — critical for complex automotive design.

Finally, you’ll apply everything in real-world projects, including designing a Cap, Fog Lamp, and Armrest — just like professionals do in the industry.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a strong portfolio, industrial-level confidence, and the skills to excel as a CATIA V5 Design Engineer -- see you in the main course
