Questions

Which syllabus does the CAD and CAM Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for CAD and CAM Lab. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the university examination?

Yes. Experiments are explained with aim, theory, procedure, observation table, calculation and viva questions, so you can write the lab file and face the practical exam confidently.

Which software is used?

Any available CAD (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo, Fusion 360), FEA (ANSYS) and CNC simulator; the centre follows what your college uses.
