Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Level 4

Level 4 example comment - three shapes have been used to represent an object, the object does not form part of a design, but shows that the student is able to produce a 3D representation of a solid object.

Level 5

Level 4/5 example comment (boxes) - for the box a solid shape has been extruded to produce a container to meet a design brief.

Level 5 example comment (candle holder) - the candle holder has been produced using the extrude tool on three workplaces and a texture (silver metal) has been applied.

bulletApply textures to represent material
bulletBe able to use the software with little help

Level 6

Level 6 example comment (phone) - multiple shapes (including letters) have been used to represent the object the phone. The shapes have been individually coloured and textured to represent the final material (plastic). The use of light and shading enhances the design effectively.

Level 6/7 example comment (box) - the box shows highly competent use of the extrude tool to produce a complicated shape for a real design (click the bottom image to se the actual box*). A plan has also been produced including dimensions. Wood texture has been applied to correctly represent the final material.
