IED Unit 3
CAD Assemblies, Prototyping & Technical Drawings
Students build a full rocket CAD assembly, check fit and alignment, 3D print and physically assemble a prototype, test the assembly, and create technical drawings for final presentation.
Unit 3 Student Presentation
Use the presentation to review CAD assemblies, part relationships, fit checks, exploded views, prototype assembly, technical drawing sheets, parts lists, balloons, notes, and final design-package expectations.
