3D solid modelling is the most advanced method of geometric modelling in
three dimensions. Solid modelling is the representation of the solid parts of
an object on your PC. The typical geometric model is made up of wire frames
that show the object in the form of wires. This wire frame structure can be
two dimensional, two and half dimensional or three dimensional. Providing
surface representation to the wire three dimensional views of geometric models
makes the object appear solid on the PC screen and this is what is called solid
modelling.
The aim of this programme is to provide the learner with a working knowledge of
3D solid modelling hardware, software and drafting techniques for industry and a
